Grounded: Thoreau, Hanscom, and the Fight Against Private Jet Expansion  

What would Thoreau say about a fleet of private jets roaring over Walden Woods?

Lara Sullivan, the project manager for the Coalition to Stop Private Jet Expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere (SPJE), will give a public presentation on the proposed expansion of private jet infrastructure at Hanscom Field and SPJE’s work to stop it. She’ll go back to the basics, going over what’s being proposed, why the coalition wants to stop it, what’s happened so far, how to get involved, and explain how all this is connected to Thoreau and his view of the preservation of nature from “the vandalism of the few.”
