2026 Harvard Forest Ecology Symposium
For 35 years, the Harvard Forest has hosted an Annual Ecology Symposium to bring together research collaborators to share progress and develop synergies.
This year’s Symposium will be held March 12, 2026, in the Harvard Forest Fisher Museum and also streamed publicly online.
We typically have around 100 people in attendance in person, including our collaborators, students, foresters, and conservation professionals.
Registration information will be available in mid-February!
