In this New England Wild Flower Society introduction to conservation biology and biodiversity, you will learn what makes a species vulnerable to extinction and which strategies and tools can be used to protect plants and ecosystems. Instructor Nancy Eyster-Smith will explore the interdisciplinary nature of conservation biology through readings, group exercises, and video clips. Participants will receive a bibliography of resources for further study. Bring a bag lunch. Class will take place at Garden in the Woods in Framingham on three Sundays, January 7 – 21, from 10 – 3:30, with a snow date on January 28 if needed. $254 for NEWFS members, $300 for nonmembers.
