Sierra Club Book Discussion on “Scenic Treasures of WNY”
April 19, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Join Sierra Club – Atlantic Chapter – Niagara Group for a fun and informative discussion of Bruce Kershner’s award-winning book, Secret Places: Scenic Treasures of Western New York and Southern Ontario with Bill McKeever, as part of their their Environmental Series.
In 1994, Eternal Flames Falls was virtually unknown, a handful of ‘naturist’ would skinnydip at Zoar Valley, and only local kids knew the hidden routes to get to hear the ‘Great Waves’ in the Niagara Gorge. Then Secret Places: Scenic Treasures of Western New York and Southern Ontario crashed on the scenes and started telling the world about our secret and scenic hidden wonders in Bruce Kershner’s award-winning book.
This talk will discuss the advocacy work done by Bruce in the 1990s and 2000s and the impact on the Western New York community and why it’s important to share these and all “secret places’ ‘ everywhere.
Bill and his wife, Jennifer Hillman, teamed up with Kershner’s literary estate to reimagine, update and bring back to the community this much loved, award-winning hiking book.
