Nature at Your Door
Spotlight Event
When we step outside, most of us enter an urban or suburban landscape shared with a multitude of animals and plants. Though we often fail to notice it, we are surrounded by a world of beauty, complexity and abundance that coexists with our human activities and structures. Dr. Sara Gagné will explore the connections between people and nature in the places where we live, and will encourage us to discover the diversity of animals and plants that share our yards, parks, greenways and neighborhoods.
