Upcoming Events & Programs

Join us on the last Saturday of every month to explore the trails of Saint Edward State Park. These events — a collaboration between CoSEE and the Saint Edward State Park team — engage community members in learning more about local ecology and connecting with the natural world.

CoSEE is excited to launch our 101 Program Series! This series features immersive, hands-on learning experiences on a variety of topics. Faculty, student interns, and community partners will share their passions and expertise in these one- to two-hour workshops. Each session will provide a brief overview before diving into engaging, hands-on activities.

Frequently Asked Questions


Do I need to register in advance? 
Ideally we would like people to register so we can plan materials accordingly but all our events are open to the public, and you can simply show up on the day of the event. 

Are there any fees? 
No, our 101 Series events are completely free of charge.  

Is there free parking at Saint Edward State Park? 
Parking at Saint Edward State Park requires a Discover Pass. However, the CoSEE provides temporary parking passes for event participants.  

Is this event suitable for younger children? 
Yes, our events are designed to engage participants of all ages, including younger children. If a session is geared more specifically toward a younger or older audience, that information will be highlighted in the event details. 

Who can I contact for more information?

Join us on Zoom the third Wednesday of every month from 12:00pm – 1:00 pm to read articles, chapters, or listen to podcasts centered around socio-ecological thriving; past, present and future. At the beginning of each month, we will share a selected reading and reflection questions with members, and then meet for an online lunch on the third Wednesday of each month to share our thoughts on the reading, welcome new ideas and perspectives into the shared space, and build a community interested in learning how to design for thriving futures for social and ecological communities.
