Events: Oct. 15 2009 Bonfils-Stanton Lecture

Wilderness as Muse is the topic of this lecture by Terry Tempest Williams, a writer, naturalist and conservationist whose work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times and numerous other publications. The theme of her lecture is restoring our connection to the land, to the sacred and to each other. In 2006, Williams received the Robert Marshall Award from The Wilderness Society—their highest honor given to an American. Her lecture begins at 7 p.m. in Mitchell Hall at Denver Botanic Gardens, 1005 York St. To register, call 720-865-3580, e-mail registrar @ botanicgardens .org, or visit Denver Botanic Gardens website and click on classes.
