Swift River Valley Symposium at Harcard Forest, Tuesday, July 2bd at 7:00 PM Many communities in Central Massachusetts have landscapes with remarkable stories. Petersham’s Swift River Valley is one such landscape. The East Branch of the Swift River from its headwaters in Phillipston to Pottapaug Pond in the Dana Section of the massive Quabbin Reservoir will be the focus of a Symposium on the Swift River Valley on Tuesday July 2nd at 7 PM at the Harvard Forest’s Fisher Museum. The symposium, facilitated by long-time local land historian Larry Buell, will add to the extensive body of research, photos, and artifacts that already exists on the Valley. Buell has been studying the Valley for over 60 years and has used it in his “Sense of Place” college curriculum.

Earth-based Education with University of the Wild
Larry Buell has seen it all over the last fifty years:
• the powerful movement toward Earth-based education;
• the transformation of leadership and community;
• and the growing fear of the demise of the Earth as we know it through a people-centered worldview.
Now he is sharing his experiences and insights in a NEW book about the University of the Wild.
University of the Wild's founder and earth-based education trailblazer Dr. Larry Buell's new book will be available in June 2023 and you can pre-order your first edition now on Indiegogo https://igg.me/at/uofwildbook
“Larry Buell is a living legend on Earth-based education, community, and leadership. His work to document his process and insights over the years will be a great contribution to the field.”
Dr. Daniel Greenberg, Education Director, Findhorn Community, Scotland
This book is a guidebook to the transformation of education to meet the needs of today's learners struggling to get ahead of disastrous environmental challenges that could change human life on the planet.
The book will lay out in detail Dr. Buell's philosophy of education and the methods he has developed that make lasting impacts on students as they learn to be model ecologically-aware citizens and leaders in sustainable, regenerative, and just endeavors. Woven throughout the book are themes of community, leadership, indigenous wisdom, Sense of Place, and personal empowerment.
Perhaps the most change-making part of the book is the complete, open, flexible curriculum, available to anyone in the world to adapt to his or her location and circumstances, for Dr. Buell's unique, university-level Semester on Earth program.
