Description
The seasons determine many aspects of life on Earth, and we humans have long marked the seasons by their influences on our planet's plants, animals, and other natural features. Starting with historical perspectives on phenology, the study of cyclic and seasonal natural phenomena, and the work of naturalists such as Aldo Leopold and Henry David Thoreau, we will explore the natural history of change and deepen our experience of the seasons here in Montana.
Space is limited to 50 people.
