Selected date

Tuesday February 4

Selected time

7:00 PM  –  9:00 PM

Join us to hear the opening speaker of the 2020 Lecture Series. Environmental writer Emma Marris will focus on innovative ways to conserve biodiversity in a humanized world.

The author of the Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-Wild World will explore what counts as "nature" in this changing world, what it means to protect it, and how we can have a good relationship with the nonhuman world.

Marris' insightful writing on how we define "nature" and why it matters inspired many of the stories in NHMU’s special exhibition, Nature All Around Us. She is featured in the exhibition in an original video championing the idea that nature is almost everywhere and inseparable from humans. Come listen as she challenges our ideas about nature, and urges hope and action in the face of an uncertain future.

A book signing will follow the lecture.

This lecture will take place at the Natural History Museum of Utah at 301 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108.
