Our Changing Forests

During this full day, indoor/outdoor session, teachers will work with Harvard Forest and Connecticut Audubon Society staff to learn how to establish and monitor a schoolyard plot in order to document forest change over time. Hands-on training includes practice in setting up a study plot, site surveying, tree measurement, plant identification, and data collection. Teachers will learn how to not only implement the project but also actively engage their classes in authentic and relevant scientific research.
