In this hands-on class\, we’ll collect water samples and view them under our video microscopes to go on a miniature safari. We might see glass-walled diatoms\, cyclops copepods\, tentacled hydra\, and other strange and exotic creatures that wouldn’t look out of place in a sci-fi movie. Along the way we’ll discuss how microorganisms are vital for the continued health of our planet. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Closed\n\n\n\n\nWear close-toed shoes and dress for the weather.

SUMMARY:Nature Revealed: Ecology in Action
DESCRIPTION:$20 member / $35 nonmember (per person)Instructor: Lawson TaylorAges 12 and up \n\n\n\nEcology is the relationship between living things – including humans – and their physical environment. From the slow march of forest succession to the rapid impacts of squirrel “predation” on trees\, ecological processes shape our world. In this class we’ll focus on basic ecological concepts using examples at the Arboretum. Along the way\, we’ll discuss how the Arboretum’s unique ecology influences our own landscape management decisions. \n\n\n\nRegistration is closed. Click on the button below for our next Nature Revealed class! \n\n\n\n\nNature Revealed: Under the Microscope\n\n\n\n\nWear close-toed shoes and dress for the weather. \n\n\n\nInstructor bio: Lawson Taylor is the Forest Ecologist for the Houston Arboretum. He uses ecological theories and concepts to maintain a healthy and functional forested ecosystem. He got his degree in Forest Recreation Management at Stephen F. Austin State University.

SUMMARY:The Ecology of Mycology
DESCRIPTION:Virtual \n\n\n\n$10 member / $25 nonmember (per person)Instructor: Chris GarzaAges 12 and up \n\n\nRegistration is closed. Check out our next Nature Revealed class – Wild Romance! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFungi are so much more than simple decomposers. A mushroom is just the visible tip of the fungal iceberg – these organisms are actually a vast network of filaments\, always searching for new interactions. In this class\, we’ll focus on some of our local fungi and their complex relationships with plants\, insects\, and humans. We’ll learn how some fungi form “social networks” with plants and help them gather nutrients\, while others are plant parasites. We’ll even explore the ways that fungi can trick insects into doing their bidding! \n\n\n\nThe class will be recorded\, and the video will be sent out after the class. Registrants will receive a class link on their receipt and will need to use this link to pre-register for the class on Zoom.
