The Homewood campus and its surroundings is a wonderful green space in the middle of Baltimore City. This course will introduce students to the visible and cryptic life forms living above- and belowground. A combination of observational and sampling techniques will be used to demonstrate how ecologists collect data about plants, insects, and other organisms. In the classroom, these field observations combined with reading material will be used to discuss environmental issues including the global biodiversity decline, invasive species, and the effect of humans in shaping the landscape
