LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — The public is invited to a special introduction to celebrated naturalist John Burroughs with Bill Birns at Morgan Outdoors on Saturday, March 28 at 4 p.m. Burroughs, born in 1837 on the family’s Delaware County homestead in Roxbury, NY, authored 27 books of nature and philosophical essays that influenced millions of readers.
In the early years of the 20th century, Burroughs rivaled Mark Twain as the most widely-read and well-known writer in America. He was a naturalist who wrote nature essays that appeared regularly in America’s top magazines, a poet and literary critic who drew his readers toward a worldview that valued simplicity in living in harmony with nature.
Program presenter, author, and educator, Bill Birns, is a 43-year resident of the Catskills. His column, “A Catskill Catalog,” ran from 2007-2012 in the Catskill Mountain News.
