A Call to Nature: Launching the Impact100 Martin Nature Club

Join us for a Private Tour of the Indian River Lagoon. You can count on a fun and educational excursion aboard FAU Harbor Branch’s pontoon tour boat, the Discovery! You will have the opportunity to experience the lagoon like never before - as a marine scientist aboard a floating laboratory with state-of-the-art-tools.

During this experience, an expert guide will discuss the wildlife encountered and the research the Institute conducts to better understand and protect the Indian River Lagoon ecosystem. Activities include interpreting real-time water quality data from the Indian River Lagoon Observatory Network of Environmental Sensors, surveying underwater habitats with a remotely operated vehicle, and identifying wildlife of all sizes, from microscopic plankton to sharks, rays, manatees, and dolphins.

To make the most of your afternoon, please bring your essential gear: binoculars, cameras, water, and sunscreen.

Join us for a discussion on the bold spirit of Love and Ruin by Paula McLain.

In "Love and Ruin," Paula McLain delivers a sweeping portrayal of Martha Gellhorn, a fiercely independent writer who fought to step out from the shadow of her legendary husband, Ernest Hemingway. The novel begins in 1937, following Martha to the front lines of the Spanish Civil War. There, amidst the chaos of battle, she finds both her voice as a world-class war correspondent and a transformative, high-stakes romance with Hemingway.

As their relationship moves from the battlefields of Spain to the quiet hills of Cuba, the narrative shifts into a poignant exploration of the cost of ambition. Martha quickly realizes that being the muse to a literary giant threatens to erase her own identity. McLain masterfully captures the friction between two fiery egos, ultimately depicting Martha’s courageous choice to prioritize her own career and truth over a prestigious but suffocating marriage. It is a stirring tribute to a woman who refused to be a footnote in history, 

This is an opportunity to dive deep into a book that inspires, challenges, and leaves a lasting impression. This Impact100 Martin member engagement series brings together women who enjoy reading books that make you think! 

Join moderators Jill Preston and Linda Weiksnar as the group discusses the novelist and the novel.

RSVP by April 30, 2026 

Although the event is informal, please ensure you have read the book if you plan to attend. It will be held in the private home of one of our members; the address will be provided to all who RSVP by the deadline. Please bring your beverage.

A Call to Nature: Launching the Impact100 Martin Nature Club

At Impact100 Martin, we don't just vote for change—we step into the heart of it. Our next Nature Club excursion takes us to the jagged, breathtaking shores of Blowing Rocks Preserve.

This isn't just a hike; it’s an immersive experience where the power of the Atlantic meets the resilience of our limestone coast. As we walk the mangrove boardwalks and stand where the waves reach for the sky, we’re reminded of exactly why we protect this land. Join your fellow members for a morning of fresh air, photography, and the kind of deep-rooted connection that only happens when we leave the meeting room and head for the trail.

After six decades of protecting Florida’s great places, The Nature Conservancy considers Blowing Rocks Preserve one of its proudest achievements. This peaceful, barrier island sanctuary is a well-known model for large-scale, native coastal habitat restoration. The natural features found here are disappearing fast from many Florida islands, and a number of endangered plants and animals call this special place home—including rare loggerhead, green, and leatherback sea turtles. The preserve was named for its rocky Anastasia limestone shoreline—the largest on the Atlantic coast. At high tide, when the sea is rough, seas break against the rocks and force plumes of saltwater up to 50 feet skyward. It’s an impressive sight.

To make the most of your morning, please bring your essential gear: cameras, water, and sunscreen. $5 per person  donation on site

Hosted by: Karen Hermanson & Lorraine Kayser Bradley

The Private Preserve Tour is limited to 20 people
