Event Description
(For adults & teens) Plant Physiology is an in-depth course offered in a safe and welcoming atmosphere for humans and plants. Over seven sessions, learn about plant anatomy, photosynthesis, respiration, and metabolism. We’ll concentrate on how magical plants are, the most interesting and accessible parts of a plant’s life and maybe we'll see that humans are much more like plants than you think. Please bring a notebook, writing tool and what you need to be comfortable in an indoor learning environment. 

A little about our instructor: Caitlin Reinartz is a beloved soul among the Urban Ecology Center community. She has been described as a true chucklebud, a forester oozing with enthusiasm, a human who fosters an equitable space of learning and expansion for others. Oh and she also attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison and studied Forest Management. Caitlin is a firm believer that Wisconsin is the best and most beautiful state in the union. She spent her childhood playing outside, and was inspired to work to preserve our region’s natural areas during camping trips to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness when she was in middle and high school.
