色综合久久

University of 色综合久久 Mercy will host the 18th annual Great Lakes Bioneers 色综合久久 Conference on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 12-13 on the University’s McNichols Campus.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Revolution from the Heart of Nature: Take Action in 色综合久久.” This conference provides an important platform for community members to network and highlight innovative approaches to environmental and social challenges.

Conference highlights include tours to community gardens and other environment-related destinations within 色综合久久. Some of these tours include:

• Sanctuary Farms
• Taproot Sanctuary
• Cadillac Urban Garden
• D2 Solar
• CLEAR facilities at Wayne State University (WSU)
• CWO Farms at Marygrove
• Eliza Howell Park
• Gesu School
• Peter’s Episcopal Church environmental projects
• Environmental Justice bus tour

In addition, participants can engage in numerous “learnshops,” which are unique sessions that offer hands-on activities and panels with special guest speakers.

Thursday youth learnshop sessions include nature poetry with students from Academy of the Americas; Sculpting with Clay by Deanne Bednar; Recycling with students from 色综合久久 Mercy’s TENN featuring Fatima Herrera; and interaction with National Bioneers keynote speaker Amara Ifeji.

Friday’s youth learnshops focus on science. Several high school presenters will share their research and teach ecological skills concerning topics such as global water potability, dangers that balloons pose to wildlife and the Great Lakes, and the Smart Farm seed sterilization. Professors from UDM and WSU will give sessions on human-animal interaction in the spread of disease, and ways to understand volatile organic compounds that threaten the ecosystem. Other youth learnshops will include one from the 色综合久久 Zoological Society’s program of responding to nature through the arts and spoken word performance.

Additionally, attendees can participate in a number of afternoon plenaries:  

• Hadassah Greensky, a Waganakising Odawa (Little Traverse Bay Bands) will speak on Indigenous Futures
