2023 Applications Closed
Thanks to all who applied to be this year's Naturalist-in-Residence at Madison Public Library. The Naturalist-in-Residence will facilitate outdoor programming in Madison’s diverse natural areas, including outdoor library spaces, for community members of all ages. The project will offer opportunities for the public to explore, learn, and reflect upon the natural world. As there are endless ways to engage with nature, naturalist programs can take many forms and address a variety of themes, including, but not limited to: environmental justice, indigenous knowledge and cultural practices, re-imagining outdoor spaces to be more inclusive and accessible, and urban naturalism. We will also develop book lists and library displays as part of the residency.
The six week residency will be held sometime between June and September, 2023. We will be announcing the 2023 Naturalist-in-Residence before the end of May and will have more to share soon! Check back for official program dates and activities coming soon.
