Environment & Natural Systems

Study living systems, environmental choices and learning in the field.

Ecology class observing a wooded streambank

Study a place from more than one angle.

Ecological systems, public decisions and the experience of a group in the field ask for different methods. The division brings those methods into conversation without treating them as interchangeable.

Students use Alder Hall teaching spaces and scheduled visits to Fern Creek Field Station. Field preparation, a sound record and a discussion of limits are part of the work, whether the question concerns a stream or a proposed policy.
