Networks to Nature

   

Friday, October 30, 2020 from 9:00 am to 11:30 am

 

Now more than ever the public is seeking the great outdoors. Closures and orders to stay-in-place made us acutely aware of our proximity to greenspace and access to nature. Our theme plays off two possible paths to nature: our distance from nature spots; and our connection to people who can bring us closer, or introduce us, to nature (ex. through programs and education experiences). Presenters will cover topics related to greenspace infrastructure, the revitalization of urban watersheds, urban tree initiatives and programs designed to introduce people to bird/nature watching.

 

The event is scheduled for Friday, October 30 with virtual presentations in the morning. Attendees can also choose to add a socially distanced afternoon field trip to a number of natural areas in the Cleveland region which showcase our urban greenspaces. Registration for field trips is a separate fee. Please consider adding one onto this order.
