Harvard University Community Bus Trip

April 19 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

*Note: Trip is waitlisted*

Harvard students, faculty, fellows, and staff are welcome to sign up for a free Community Bus Trip to Harvard Forest on April 19.

The 4 hours spent on site will be guided by educators and scientists at the Forest, including:

  • an overview of Harvard Forest’s interdisciplinary research and education programs
  • a brief, interactive tour of the Fisher Museum
  • a ~2-mile guided field walk:
    • explore several of the Forest’s signature climate research experiments
    • optional: weather-permitting, climb a 92′ research tower
    • learn local plant and wildlife ID
    • discuss the Indigenous and colonial history of the region
    • discuss modern efforts in climate policy, land management, environmental education, and Indigenous community collaboration

Bus trips will depart Harvard Square at 10:00am and return to campus by 6:00pm. Attendees must bring their own lunch and snacks; Harvard Forest is a rural area and there is no way to purchase food or drinks here.

Registration is first-come, first-served, except that new visitors will be prioritized over return visitors. This trip is full, but we are accepting waitlist registrations.
