A 2026 short documentary film by Harvard Forest educator Ben Goulet-Scott (Harvard OEB PhD ’21) and filmmaker Matt Shelley-Reade was screened at festivals across New England this year. The film first aired on public television via WGBH on October 1.
Now, the film will be screened at a special event on November 10 in the Harvard Forest Fisher Museum, followed by a Q&A with filmmakers Ben Goulet-Scott and Matt Shelley-Reade, with Dr. John O’Keefe, an emeritus researcher and educator at Harvard Forest, whose long-term research project is the subject of the film, and Greta VanScoy, the researcher who has recently taken over the measurements.
Join us for this glimpse of the inspiring back-story to the Forest’s most-downloaded dataset, a remarkable 37-year look at the changing timing of spring bud-burst and autumn leaf-drop in 30 trees at Harvard Forest.
