About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

The Bison Book Club travels to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge to discuss Dan O'Brien's Buffalo for the Broken Heart: Restoring Life to a Black Hills Ranch, a story of a rancher who dares to imagine something different.

"I love this book. Buffalo for the Broken Heart is elegant, visionary, and lives intensely with grace and power. A blueprint for dreams and dreamers." -- Rick Bass.

We're excited to partner with the Friends of the Front Range Wildlife Refuges on this three-part book club series. For our first meeting we will be meeting at the Land Library's Globeville home. For our last two books, we will be gathering at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, a perfect metro-Denver site where the buffalo still roam. Here's the dates for our other two books:

-- Sunday, March 24th, Butcher's Crossing, a novel by John Williams.

-- Sunday, April 21st, Buffalo Nation: American Indian Efforts to Restore the Bison by Ken Zontek.

All books ( new and used copies) will be available for purchase at the Nature’s Nest Book Store, located at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center.

Sign up for one of the Bison Book Club gatherings, or for all three!

Frequently asked questions

How many people will be in the book club?

For a good discussion, we'll be limiting attendees (in-person or virtually) to 15.

If the Book Club sells out, will you have a waitlist?

Yes - Eventbrite gives us that option. If space frees up, we'll get in touch on a first come, first serve basis.

Where is the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge?

We'll be sending all attendees event day details (including a map) before the Book Club meets.
