Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Lessons from the Forest - Ned Ames Honorary Lecture Friday, June 24, 2016 For more than 50 years, the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in the White Mountains of New Hampshire has been one of the most intensely studied landscapes on earth. In this special lecture, Gene Likens, Cary Institute President Emeritus, will showcase his new book, Hubbard Brook: The Story of a Forest Ecosystem, co-authored with Richard Holmes of Dartmouth College. Join one of the nation's most respected ecologists for a thoughtful and engaging lecture on why long-term, place-based ecological studies are essential to addressing society's most pressing environmental issues, from air pollution and water quality to climate change. Stories will include the discovery of acid rain, impacts of forest management practices, population change in forest birds, and how disturbance events, such as pests and pathogens and a changing climate affect both our forests and the quality of freshwater. The lecture will be held at Cary Institute auditorium, 2801 Sharon Turnpike (Route 44)Millbrook. http://www.caryinstitute.org/events/lessons-forest Time: 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Location: Cary Institute, Millbrook Website: http://www.caryinstitute.org/events/lessons-forest If you would like to see more events please visit the following URL: http://inside.bard.edu/campus/services/career/calendar/
