[workshop] Sensing Place: Tools for Experiential Ecology

Written by

Date: October 25th and 26th

If you are passionate about the natural world and the human place within it, this course is for you! Join us to learn the fundamentals of sensory awareness, wildlife tracking, bird language, plant observation, and nature journaling. Based in the urban wildlife hotspot of Union Bay Natural Area, we will practice powerful (and fun!) tools for “reading the landscape,” opening our perception to the more-than-human world. With these naturalist skills, participants will deepen their sense of curiosity and adventure every time they step outside Union Bay Natural Area!

The Jackson Munro Public Service Fellowship (formerly the Sterling and Gene Munro Public Service Fellowship) encourages a life-long commitment to public service by providing outstanding undergraduates with the opportunity to explore their potential through service and leadership in the community.

Jackson Munro Public Service Fellows are selected based on the strength of a public service project proposed in collaboration with a public sector (non-profit or governmental) organization.

Factors influencing the selection of Munro Public Service Fellows include:
