We convene our 2026 gathering with the magical voice of ROBERT MACFARLANE, a man who has been called the greatest nature writer of this generation. No one writes with more knowledge, passion, and lyricism about the natural world and how we can be better stewards of all its bounty. That theme underlies his globally acclaimed books, including most recently Is a River Alive?, the moving story of three imperiled rivers around the world and the intrepid people who have fought to reclaim them. In conversation with JENNY EMERY DAVIDSON, Executive Director of The Community Library in Ketchum, Macfarlane will talk about his adventures, literal and literary, and reflect on our beautiful, fragile planet, and the rivers that run through it.
