Participants will read at their own pace\, with the opportunity to discuss virtually via the Heylo app. You’ll receive weekly discussion points to ponder that will guide our group conversation. We’ll meet to discuss the book face-to-face on Saturday\, August 15th\, at the School of Conservation from 10:30 to noon. This meeting will also include an outdoor activity related to our reading. \nHigh School students and up are welcome to join. Participants will provide their own copy of the book. We will officially begin reading on Sunday\, July 5th. Please feel free to register and jump in any time. Participants will receive additional instructions via email (don’t forget to monitor the email address you use to register!). \nAbout Raising Hare:\nNEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • FINALIST FOR THE 2025 WOMEN’S PRIZE \nA fascinating meditation on freedom\, trust\, loss\, and our relationship with the natural world\, explored through the story of one woman’s unlikely friendship with a wild hare. \n“Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and bounded around your bedroom at night\, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that\, more than two years later\, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and slept in your house for hours on end. For political advisor and speechwriter Chloe Dalton\, who spent lockdown deep in the English countryside\, far away from her usual busy London life\, this became her unexpected reality. \nIn February 2021\, Dalton stumbles upon a newborn hare—a leveret—that had been chased by a dog. Fearing for its life\, she brings it home\, only to discover how difficult it is to rear a wild hare\, most of whom perish in captivity from either shock or starvation. Through trial and error\, she learns to feed and care for the leveret with every intention of returning it to the wilderness. Instead\, it becomes her constant companion\, wandering the fields and woods at night and returning to Dalton’s house by day. Though Dalton feared that the hare would be preyed upon by foxes\, weasels\, feral cats\, raptors\, or even people\, she never tried to restrict it to the house. Each time the hare leaves\, Chloe knows she may never see it again. Yet she also understands that to confine it would be its own kind of death. \nRaising Hare chronicles their journey together while also taking a deep dive into the lives and nature of hares\, and the way they have been viewed historically in art\, literature\, and folklore. We witness firsthand the joy at this extraordinary relationship between human and animal\, which serves as a reminder that the best things\, and most beautiful experiences\, arise when we least expect them.”
