The Green Living Series (GLS) at the Kalamazoo Nature Center is aimed at helping us live with less impact on the natural world.  GLS programs are free to the public and occur on the first Tuesday of every odd-numbered month from 6:30 – 8pm.  Participants leave each program with simple and inexpensive ideas that can be easily implemented at home.
