EcoArt Words in the Wild: (Part2) Workshop Crafting Found Poetry from Research, Field Notes, & Collaboration with Nature
Workshop/Training
EcoArt is a low-pressure, drop-in space to explore the intersection of ecology, art, and creativity through workshops and open studio time. In the first part of this workshop we created poetry using field notes, journals, nature-related research or chapters, sketches, or informal writings from time spent outdoors. During this workshop, we'll physically invite nature into our poetry broadsides, weaving natural materials and multimodal elements into finished pieces. For part 2 of this workshop, bring any natural materials you might like to weave into your poem (collected following the Honorable Law of the Harvest). We'll also try to bring some materials for anyone who needs them. You'll finish the series with a piece made in collaboration with the more-than-human world. All are welcome, no prior creative writing experience needed.

LAEP Speaker Series: Quint and Matthew Redmond, Agriburbia: Building the Infrastructure for the Next Generation
Lecture/Readings
About the Lecture:
Agriburbia is a land use concept ( and the name of our company) based ont he principal that many of the food, energy, water, and health problems we currently face as a human population can be directly addressed by moving the point of production of our food to as close to point of its consumption as possible. Intentional design incorporating a food as piece of infrastructure will be critical moving forward to create a more sustainable planet and human population. We will look at some of the adverse macro trends we face today and how we can leverage good design with new technologies to create real 'human habitat.'

Launching Logan’s Night Sky Monitoring Program
Student Activities
Artificial light at night doesn’t just hide the stars; it changes ecosystems. From migratory bird navigation to nocturnal mammal behavior, light pollution has measurable impacts on wildlife and human communities. Join the Wildlife Society and Berryman Institute for an informational meeting about launching a student-led Night Sky Monitoring Program in partnership with Audubon’s Gilmore Sanctuary. This volunteer-based program will collect standardized data on sky brightness and light pollution in the Logan area, contributing to conservation, research, and outreach efforts. We are currently in the early stages and need student interest before officially launching. This is a great opportunity to gain field experience, contribute to community science, and help build a new conservation initiative from the ground up.
