URI Edwards Auditorium
Kingston, RI

Join us for a public lecture and book-signing by author Richard Louv on Tuesday, April 23rd, at 5 p.m. in URI’s Edwards Auditorium, 64 Upper College Road in Kingston, RI.

Louv’s books offer “a dose of pure inspiration, reminding us that looking up at the stars or taking a walk in the woods is as exhilarating as it is essential, at any age.”

Recipient of the Audubon Medal and author of the national bestseller, Last Child in the Woods, his books have been translated and published in 24 countries, and have helped launch an international movement to connect children, families and communities to nature. He is co-founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Children & Nature Network, an organization that helps build the movement.

Book sales of Last Child in the Woods and The Nature Principle and book-signing to follow the lecture.

This event is part of URI’s Earth Day and is sponsored by the URI Office of Sustainability with support from Metcalf Institute among others.
