Landscape ecology is the science of understanding the interaction of ecological processes on a multitude of scales and spatial patterns, with an aim at improving and supporting these systems for a healthy environment. In this Native Plant Trust introductory class with Alexis Doshas, to be held on July 30 at Nasami Farm in Whately, we explore the principles of landscape ecology, examine case studies, and take a brief field walk to orient ourselves to thinking BIG! $40 for NPT members, $48 for nonmembers.
