About
Recommended for an adult audience
Think nature and chances are that the landscapes that come to mind are far removed from city life. Yet nature not only exists in urban spaces but has a multitude of impacts on people. A new long-term ecological research program based in the Twin Cities promises to expand our understanding of how the natural world persists in urban settings. Our panelists will discuss the often invisible role urban nature plays in our daily lives and what they hope to learn going forward.
Panelists Include:
Dr. Sarah Hobbie, Distinguished McKnight University Professor, Ecology, Evolution and Behavior
Dr. Bonnie Keeler, Associate Professor, Humphrey School of Public Affairs
Dr. Kristen Nelson, Professor, Department of Forest Resources & Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology
