When we spend time in Open Spaces, we can get glimpses into how rock, water, plants and animals are seamlessly connected as a single, living system – what is now known as Earth System Science!   We can sense how the Sun’s energy animates the second-by-second, daily and seasonal breaths of life!   And, Open Spaces offer lessons for living sustainably as an integral part of life!  Join naturalist Martin Ogle to learn about our newest scientific understandings of Earth and how they are reflected all around us.
