Join Ed Yong—avid birder, science journalist, Pulitzer winner, and New York Times bestselling author—and Amy Tan—New York Times bestselling author, and avid birder and nature journaler—for a special evening about birding and nature connection, hosted by award-winning artist, author, and educator John Muir Laws.

The evening will begin with a hosted reception with hearty appetizers and wine. At 7:00, we will enjoy a conversation with Ed Yong and Amy Tan for a conversation about connecting with nature through birding and wonder. Books by all three authors will be for sale, and there will be a book signing after the conversation.

Join us as we celebrate the fourth anniversary of the Wild Wonder Foundation, a nonprofit co-founded by John Muir Laws, which is dedicated to encouraging nature connection and conservation through attention, curiosity, art, science, and community. All funds raised will support Wild Wonder Foundation and our numerous free and low-cost learning and teaching resources that help people connect with nature.
