January 18th, Elena Leander
Grasslands: Champions of Change
What is it that comes to mind when you think of grasslands? Is it your front lawn? A golf course? Something else? Ecologically, native grasslands are much more complex than you might imagine – they are diverse and teeming with life! Spreading across the Earth millions of years ago, grassland species’ unique adaptations and relationships have allowed them to thrive in the face of environmental pressures. Yet, does their resilience have limits? How might we better understand, protect, and harness the power of grasslands? As we settle into a new year and invite change into our own lives, we welcome you to join Elena Leander on Jan 18, Thursday and learn lessons from the grassland biome, a global champion of change.
Our evening kicks off at 7 pm with engaging activities at our natural history and kids’ activities tables. At 7:15 pm, there will be a guided tour of the Brackenridge Field Laboratory, offering you a unique glimpse into the ongoing field research. The main event begins promptly at 8 pm with Elena’s talk, followed by an interactive Q&A session.
