Susan Baur, founder of the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage, launches her new book Swimming With Turtles: How Wonder Reconnects Us to the Natural World. When Susan Baur first slipped into a Cape Cod pond with a snorkel, she wasn’t looking for transformation, just a good, hard swim. But beneath the surface she discovered something extraordinary—minnows swirling among the silver stems of water lilies, tiny fresh-water jelly fish, and most striking of all turtles. Whether the painted, musk or snapping turtles were buried in mud or drifting like ancient astronauts through glass-green waters, they pulled her into mysterious happiness she could not explain. Repeatedly wonderstruck, her perspective on the natural world changed. Like an individual leaf that suddenly realizes it is part of a magnificent tree, she stopped seeing herself as an isolated observer of curious “things”, but rather as a member of a planet-sized community made up of beings all related to and supporting each other. Over nearly two decades, Baur became a self-taught naturalist, children’s author of the Turtle Sisters series and unlikely environmentalist founding the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage to protect the ponds and turtles she had grown to love. With humor, heart, and vivid imagination, Baur shows that wonder and its transformative power waits beneath the surface for anyone willing to look closely and stay a while. A retired psychologist, Baur is the author of several books on psychology and on the history of marine science. In 2024, she was named first Climate Resilience Hero by the American Red Cross and in 2025, she was elected to the Explorers Club. She is 86 years old and lives in North Falmouth. This program will take place in the Main Meeting Room at the Osterville Village Library on Saturday August 22nd at 11am For more information or to register for this event, please contact Amy Wolfe at [email protected] or by contacting the OVL directly at (508) 428-5757

Join us for a riveting conversation with award-winning biologist Beronda Montgomery as we discuss her book, When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy. The histories of trees in America are also the histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African named Antoine sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement poplar trees are historically associated with lynching and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. These trees, and others, testify not only to the complexity of the Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise that, like Native American traditions, predates the United States entirely. In When Trees Testify, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees, as well as the cotton shrub, are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants. Combining the wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany, Montgomery talks to majestic trees, and in this unique and compelling narrative, they answer. Register today for this insightful discussion about Black history and botanical mastery. About the Author: Beronda L. Montgomery, PhD, is a writer, researcher, and scholar who pursues a common theme of understanding how individuals perceive, respond to, and are impacted by the environments in which they exist. Her primary laboratory-based research has been focused on the responses of photosynthetic organisms (i.e., plants and cyanobacteria) to external light cues. Additionally, Beronda pursues this theme in the context of effective mentoring and leadership of individuals, and the role of innovative leaders in supporting success. Beronda is author of two books When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy (2026, Henry Holt and Co.) and Lessons From Plants (2021, Harvard University Press).
