The editors and writers of "The Changing Environment of Northern Michigan" will talk about the way plants, animals, and the landscape in the state have changed since the University of Michigan Biological Station, affectionately known as “bug camp,” was founded 100 years ago (and even before then, since colonial times). A book signing and Q&A will follow.

Like the station itself, the book provides a solid background for better appreciating the relationships among living and nonliving parts of northern Michigan, for anyone interested in exploring the region's forests, fields, and wetlands; wading or paddling down its rivers; or swimming or floating across its lakes.
