Each year, UMNH presents the Nature of Things lecture series that explores the complex interactions between humans and nature. Past speakers have included E.O. Wilson, Gary Nabhan, and Michael Pollan. In 2009, Thomas Friedman delivered the keynote lecture on a series entitled Defining Sustainability: Our Changing Relationship with the Natural World.

Join the discussion in one of the only non-fiction book clubs in our community. Titles are as broad as the natural world and each discussion is facilitated by an expert in that particular field. UMNH Book Club meets at the Mill at Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake City's Liberty Park. The conversation continues online at the Museum's website and Facebook page.
