“The Seed Story: When, How and Why We Save Seeds” with John Caccia

July 7, 2021 by kmerwin

 Local seed saver John Caccia of the Wood River Seed Library will presenter the event.
 
Over the next 20 years, 80% of seed diversity is expected to be lost, according to some estimates. Seed saving and libraries are part of a grass-roots effort to reverse this trend. Locally, the Wood River Seed Library works to get people involved through seed exchanges and educational programs. Seed library users can acquire free seeds and are encouraged to bring back saved seeds at the end of the season. 
 
All interested are invited to attend this free event, which will be held outdoors at the Farm, a community growing center owned and managed by The Hunger Coalition. The Farm is located directly east of the Wood River High School football stadium. The Wood River Seed Library is housed at The Community Library in Ketchum, where local and aspiring gardeners can learn about and actively participate in seed saving.

“Confluence” by Kerrin McCall

July 7, 2021 by kmerwin

Local author Kerrin McCall reads from and discusses her new book, Confluence. 

About the book:

“In the shifting seasons we witness a changing Earth,” Kerrin McCall tells us. Chronicling the flow of one month into another for the passage of a year in the Idaho Mountains she relates observations and perceptions of mountain ecology as relative markers of change. Ranging from the Wood River Valley’s undulant foothills and riparian forests to the Pioneer Mountains’ alpine summits, to ranch lands of the Sawtooth and Pahsimeroi Valleys, she explores our entangled kinship with an enigmatic world. She contemplates the merging of humanity with the wildness that defines us and dwells within us, the wildness with which we sometimes collide. Reactivating innate sensory intelligence she finds herself embedded in a community of beings where grace, order, chaos, reciprocity and love flow from the land’s wild heart. As beautiful and integral pieces of the natural world slip away, McCall invites the reader to engage an elemental empathy—a sacred alliance—with nature and to protect Earth’s rhythms, balance and instinct for survival. 

An audience Q&A will follow the reading.
