How Do Ecologists Read a Landscape?

Meet us at Powdermill Nature Reserve for a guided nature walk inspired by Carnegie Museum of Art’s exhibition Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape, currently on view in the art museum’s galleries, which are right next door to ours, all in the same building.

Carnegie Museum of Natural History scientists, Mason Heberling, Associate Curator of Botany, and Rachel Reeb, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Botany, will lead a guided walk and teach you how to read a landscape like an ecologist, identify spatial patterns, study compositions of plants and animals, and spot signs of environmental degradation and repair.
