Species of Notre Dame is here to help you encounter the University of Notre Dame’s more-than-human community.

Our Species Catalogue highlights some of the spectacular flora and fauna on and around ND’s campus(es) and gives you the info you need to experience them for yourself. The catalogue also features poems inspired by real-life encounters with each species, written by humans like you!

Had an inspiring encounter with a species at Notre Dame? Write a poem and submit it here. All ages and abilities welcome.

Sad that a species is missing from our catalogue? Submit the info here, and we’ll add it to our growing collection.

Species of Notre Dame is sponsored by the Environmental Humanities Initiative. Keep an eye on EHUM’s event page for upcoming Species of Notre Dame events. Email mbrems2@nd.edu to subscribe to EHUM’s mailing list.
