Head of the Lake Master Naturalist Zoom Book Club: Raising Hare

Ruth Westra leads a discussion of Raising Hare: A Memoir by Chloe Dalton. In 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.

Whether you have read the book or just want to listen to the discussion, you are welcome. This Zoom book club is hosted by Cook County Higher Education and offered free of charge, however registration is required here.
