Sorry, we are no longer accepting registrations for this course. Please contact our office to find out if it will be rescheduled, or if alternative classes are available.

Do you wonder which plants are safe and which are harmful for you or your pets? Which ones have healing capabilities? Do you know how animals and marine life contribute toward the health and harm of the ecosystem?

Join us this spring as biologists and other experts lead classes on these topics. Classes will include lectures on a range of plant and animals native to the gulf coast.  Learn to more deeply appreciate the diversity that contributes to our robust environment. Learn about snakes, scorpions, spiders and ticks, marine life, bees, wasps, and hornets, as well as helpful and harmful plant life on the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Notes:

This is an on-campus class. Please fill out the covid screen and present your "pass." You may print it out or show it via your phone screen.
Fee: $50.00
