Abstract
The following histories explore the boundaries between the human and natural environment on Hamilton College’s campus. They were written for the Environmental Studies course “Interpreting the American Environment” and incorporated site visits and consultations of the historical record in order to better understand familiar places on Hamilton’s campus. Through this research, the contributors identified the human imprint on natural places and located nature in the built environment.
