Nature Studies
Natural areas are not completely lost in the Chicago region. Short courses and the Nature and Environmental Studies Certificate of Merit Program can help urban residents and suburbanites reconnect to the natural world. Topics related to the natural history of the Chicago region and those of a global scale comprise the courses offered in the area of natural studies. Offerings highlight both flora and fauna in and around the Garden, ranging from short courses such as wildflower walks and geology field trips to more comprehensive courses in the Naturalist Certificate Program.
