My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a Thoreau Society member since 1996 from Gothenburg, Sweden. I have enjoyed the sterling publications of the Society, which come automatically with membership, ever since then: the quarterly Thoreau Society Bulletin, and the annual Concord Saunterer. The Society includes a wide range of enthusiasts, scholars, activists and literature lovers. This is also reflected in its publications, which are eclectic in the best sense. A good bunch of Thoreau Society members congregate each summer for the Annual Gathering in Concord, Massachusetts, which offers a plethora of interesting talks, discussions, happenings and guided excursions into local Thoreau country. I started coming to the AG only in 2016, but have not missed one since, despite the long journey. The Thoreau Society is friendly, dedicated, active, and especially valuable in our time of widespread environmental crisis and social strife. It speaks a word for nature, for wildness, for nurturing responsibility and simplicity in our lives.
