Event Description

(For everyone) Come join us for weekly Friday virtual lectures on the amazing life that exists in our backyards. Each week will focus on a different Backyard Naturalist topic, led by UEC staff as well as different guest lecturers. We will cover it ALL, one week at a time! This series looks at the common, uncommon and hidden creatures that comprise the ecological communities in our backyards and our houses and the extraordinary stories they tell. Registration covers Spring lectures (March-May).
