About America’s Wild Read
America’s Wild Read is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Library’s virtual, quarterly book club designed to inspire a deeper connection with nature through conservation literature. Each quarter, we feature a new book—whether contemporary, classic, or traditional—that explores themes of conservation, species challenges, or how we can be better stewards of the natural world.
Past selections have included Braiding Sweetgrass, An Immense World, and Tenacious Beasts.
Our discussions are open to everyone—readers, conservationists, nature enthusiasts, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employees, and the public. Even if you haven’t finished (or started!) the book, we invite you to join these informal conversations to reflect on the text, explore discussion questions, and connect with fellow readers.
How to Get Involved
Expand your knowledge of conservation by reading along with America’s Wild Read! We all share a responsibility to protect nature—our lands, waters, plants, and wildlife—and these book selections offer valuable insights into conservation efforts. Stay up to date on Wild Read news, including book announcements, discussion questions, and event details.
Each quarter, we host a virtual book discussion via Zoom, open to both U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employees and the public. You don’t need to have read the book to participate—everyone is welcome! These informal conversations provide a space to reflect on the reading, explore discussion topics, and connect with others who share an interest in conservation literature.
