Taking Lessons from Nature: How to Observe Our World

Tuesday, June 4, 2019 - 1:00pm EDT
How long should a leaf live? When should blueberries ripen? Utilizing the knowledge of the natural world takes practice and observational skills. The real question is, why is it important to listen?  This webinar discusses the importance of listening to the natural world to deepen our understanding. We'll feature panelists with a wide range of knowledge that will offer both a broad ranging and practical, on the ground perspective about learning in and from nature itself.  The webinar is in partnership with Nature Camp.
