Everyday Environment Series
Remember back in grade school biology learning about things like the carbon cycle? Or how about evolution? Or even things like a predator-prey relationship? These are all important aspects of ecology that, when paired with a few design considerations, can teach everyone how to make any landscape an oasis for nature and the envy of neighbors.
Refresh your biological knowledge and learn how to increase the ecological value of home spaces.
Presenter: Abigail Garofalo, state Master Naturalist specialist
About Everyday Environment
The Everyday Environment series dives into the intricate web of connections that bind us to the natural world. From water, air, energy, plants, and animals to the complex interactions within these elements, we aim to unravel the ties that link us to our environment. Through podcasts, blogs, webinars, and videos, you'll gain a deeper understanding of and appreciation for these connections in Illinois and beyond. The spring 2026 series explores the impacts of invasive species, the latest laws and research, tools for detection and reporting, and success stories of communities working to manage invasives.
Make sure to catch each session by joining the Everyday Environment email list. Find recordings of previous programs on the Illinois Extension YouTube account.
