Writing in Nature: Building Climate Literacy with Butterflies | June 26, 2026

Join teachers of writing and science in a day of professional learning at the Kellogg Biological Station. Spend the day in the field, exploring large-scale sustainable farming experiments and meeting scientists to learn about their research. We’ll mist net butterflies, look at them closely and learn about climate change from their perspective. Take time to read about the field experiments and write about your experience. For those interested in future program development, join us for an optional dreaming and scheming session in the afternoon. Scan the QR code to apply today!
