Soil Biology

Returning to the systems that got us here: Understanding how the life in the soil and plants together create permanent fertility in natural systems and how we can mimic this in our agricultural systems.

Teacher
Benjamin Friton In 2010 he co-founded Can YA Love, an organization specializing in supporting orphanages, schools, and youth & women’s groups in densely populated areas around the world by setting up customized agricultural systems that provide continuous support to their mission.

A Night with the Bats!

Kerry Wixted is an education and outreach specialist with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife and Heritage Service. She has a B.S. in wildlife and fisheries management with a M.S. in Biology.
Join her for a lecture on bat biology from species around the world and in our own backyards. She’ll discuss bat decline and how you can help populations in your area. Then we’ll move the classroom outside to listen to bats by radar and track their movements in the night sky.
