*** SIERRA CLUB BOOK GROUP - http://newyork.sierraclub.org/rochester/Book_Club/Book_Club.html
May 11 - Where the Wild Things Were, by William Stolzenberg (7
copies in MCLS)
◦Reviews: “In this impassioned debut, wildlife journalist Stolzenburg
examines predation's crucial role in the preservation of ecological
diversity, painting nightmarish pictures of what happens when top
carnivores are exterminated from ecosystems. . . . He demonstrates how
the delicate balance between predator and prey is so essential, and
his book, rich in dramatic accounts of life and death in the wild, is
powerful and compelling.
*** Thursday, June 18th, 7:00pm - film showing of "Sustainable Table",
co-sponsored with the Rochester Area Vegetarian Society. This 50-
minute documentary takes an unadulterated look at the food we eat,
where it comes from and how it affects the environment. Learn about
how our food choices can radically reduce our carbon footprint.

*** "The Wetlands Committee is involved in an effort to create a
wetland on Buckland Creek at the Twelve Corners Brighton School
District campus in Brighton. A wetland on this creek would filter
water that eventually empties into Allen's Creek and Lake Ontario,
would provide some flood prevention for the Panorama Plaza area,
create an urban habitat corridor bringing many native insects, birds
and amphibians back to central Brighton, and establish a great outdoor
classroom for environmental studies. If you are a Brighton resident or
someone with a passion for wetlands, a background in environmental
education, an expertise in grant applications or fund raising and
would like to contribute to this effort, please contact Sara Rubin
