2026 Life on Earth Workshops: Series 1

This is a new workshop series that explores life on Earth at The Edge of Appalachia Preserve System. The theme of this series is exploring how things in nature work, specifically life found in the eastern forest. With advances in technology, putting a name on a species with a device has become more readily available, but truly understanding how that organism, or group of organisms works, is often the more difficult information to obtain. This workshop series utilizes experts in their fields to take participants beyond simple identification and into a deeper look at the sensory systems, ecology and adaptations that allow life in the eastern forest to flourish and continue to support human existence.

The workshops are open to everyone at all skill levels, although naturalists, teachers, science educators, natural area managers and others in the natural sciences will find these workshops especially beneficial.

Please note: Workshops are both indoors and in the field. Participants should be able to handle moderate hiking conditions as the preserve is situated in rugged, unglaciated southern Ohio and be prepared to tolerate the elements, such as insects, heat and rain.

Please note: Lunch is provided. 12 maximum attendees.
