Free Book Talk: WaterShed by Lisa Sheirer

In this book, the author, Lisa Sheirer shares their passion through artwork that captures the energies and spirits of the forest, accompanied by both colloquial and scientific names of the watershed’s beings, fascinating scientific facts, folklore, and personal musings. This is more than just a guide to a specific watershed; it’s an invitation to recognize and appreciate the vital importance of watersheds everywhere.
Lisa Sheirer’s artwork, inspired by the energies felt while wandering or simply sitting in the woods, offers a visual representation of the “energyshed” and “watershed” that these lands embody. Through this book, readers are encouraged to connect with and protect the natural environments that sustain us all. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the intersection of art, science, and nature, and to be inspired to care for the watersheds that are crucial to our planet’s health.
