Ever wonder why we feel a certain "pull" toward a star-filled sky or a sun-drenched park? Why do five different kinds of birds around our feeder excite us more than five of the same kind? Join local author Dan Slone for a discussion about the deep, biological bonds we share with the wild world.Dan is currently diving into two new non-fiction projects: one exploring the vital importance of true darkness for all living creatures, and another centered on "fourth places"—those special spots where humans and nature socialize together. He’ll share insights from his research on biodiversity and biophilia (our innate love for nature), while pulling back the curtain on his own journey as a writer. Whether you're an author or a nature lover, discover how protecting our environment starts with the stories we tell.

From advising global nonprofits to helping local towns and developers find their footing, Dan’s career is defined by a singular mission: enabling places where humans and their wild cousins can thrive.A prolific voice in the movement, he has authored chapters in eleven books from major publishers and spoken around the world.
