In this walk led by philosopher Evelyn Brister we explored environmental science and conservation through a philosophical lens. Inspired by Evelyn’s current reserach and the question “what do we owe the biosphere?,” we considered questions having to do with outdoor recreation, bio-tech, and ethical decision-making.
