Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this gardening class:

This course explores wetlands in all their dimensions, including how they form and are identified, the critical ecosystem services they provide, the rich biodiversity they harbor, their impact on global climate, and how they are regulated and protected. The course will connect what we know about wetlands from scientific perspectives to the ways in which wetlands matter for people.
