New Program Announcement: "The Man Who Planted Trees" Book Discussion: How a French Parable Inspires Ecological Restoration |
Dr. Robert S. Emmett, author and humanities scholar, will guide us through “The Man Who Planted Trees” as we consider how a timeless classic can be a parable to modern times and how fiction can influence the way we think about the environment. We will examine the themes in this book by way of a special edition that brings this tale close to home! Accompanied by the original text and woodcut illustrations, Magnificent Missouri’s edition includes a foreword and afterword written by local conservationists and highlights native tree-planting efforts along the Katy Trail.
Join us on July 13th, 2021 at 6:30 P.M. to learn how this French fable is inspiring a community of tree planters right here in Missouri.

|
Program participants will not need any prior knowledge about the book.
Registration is required.

We are excited to partner with St. Louis-Stuttgart Sister Cities and the City of Stuttgart, Germany on an upcoming oral history project.
The goal of the project is to collect oral histories from Germans and Missourians alike who have a connection to St. Louis’s German sister city, Stuttgart, including (but not limited to) people who have immigrated from Stuttgart, St. Louisans/Missourians who have visited Stuttgart, and members of the military who perhaps were stationed there.
If you have a connection to Stuttgart and wish to tell your story,
we’d love to hear from you!
