During this course, we will meet some plants and animals living all around us in the New England landscape. In each case, we’ll learn how they make their living, and then look at how climate change looks from their point of view.

The aim of this course is to help you see your landscape from the point of view of some of the species who go about their lives around us. Homework will include short readings and suggested field observations. The class sessions will be conversational in tone, and the instructor will note particular interests and questions raised, and incorporate them into subsequent material.

For each session, short readings (pdfs) will be sent out to participants ahead of time.
