EXPLORING WILD ECOSYSTEMS
An ecological exploration of fascinating ecosystems and the relationships that sustain them.
DEVELOP ECOLOGICAL LITERACY
Nature is teeming with incredible ecosystems. From fertile floodplains to lush freshwater marshes, these dynamic ecosystems exist in a variety of forms and sustain all living things. But how exactly do they work? What are their origins? And why must we learn them?

IDENTIFY KEY FEATURES OF ECOSYSTEMS
How is a bog different from a fen? Why are trees mostly absent from tallgrass prairies? How does fire influence the landscape?
EXPLORING WILD ECOSYSTEMS introduces you to thought-provoking questions to help you identify key features of different ecosystems. With guided lessons through high-quality videos, this online course is designed to strengthen your ecological skills — one ecosystem at a time.
