The Harvard Forest is pleased to make its facilities available to individuals and groups whose interests, activities and purposes coincide with or complement those of the Harvard Forest. Our research and teaching interests center in understanding the environment, especially the forested lands in which we live, and the ways in which society can maintain and manage the land for its preservation and future use.
