David Gessner and Dan "River Man" Driscoll Come to Bentley University

7pm Thursday March 10th

Wilder Pavilion, Adamian Building (park in Lot 9)

175 Forest St., Bentley University, Waltham

In 2011, author David Gessner published My Green Manifesto, a chronology of his canoe trip down the Charles River with Dan Driscoll, the state-agency man responsible for making the Charles the gem that it is today. On their multi-day journey enjoying the sights and sounds of the river from source to mouth, they discuss the challenges Dan faced while fighting for the watercourse made famous by the song Dirty Water, and attempt to identify the tenets of new environmentalism.

We are thrilled to have these two men on the same stage to recount the stories and share their ideas about falling in love with something natural, as Dan did with the Charles, and “fighting like hell for it.” The event is free, but donations are welcome!
