Lunchtime Discovery: What is the Best Place to Connect with Nature? At Your Door!

  • Wednesday, November 08, 2023
  • 12:00pm - 1:00pm

Dr. Sara A. Gagné

Dr. Sara A. Gagné, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Dr. Gagné is also author of “Nature at Your Door: Connecting with the Wild and Green in the Urban and Suburban Landscape.”

I bet you won’t believe me when I tell you that you share your home and yard with thousands, yes thousands, of other species. From coyotes to luna moths, you are surrounded by a constellation of wildlife in the ecological galaxy that is your town or city. Join me as I show you how you influence the species around you, and in turn, how they influence you in your yard, along your street, in your neighborhood and citywide. In each place, I’ll share easy ways to build on your budding relationship with urban nature.
