Ecology 1

A Lifelong Learning Aberystwyth Ecology Course

Ever wondered why some plants won’t grow in your garden and why the “weeds” (and slugs) thrive? 

Ecology explains the patterns we see in the natural world and the ways in which people have changed them.  If you are interested in any aspect of natural history, then you should be interested in ecology! It’s all about relationships between living things (from flowers to fungi to fluffy or feathery animals) with their surroundings and with us humans. So come and find out – you can’t be truly ‘green’ unless you know something about ecology! This is an essential core topic for any field or conservation ecologist.
