Schoolyard Ecology Workshop: A celebration of “data-versaries”


On Tuesday, April 1, the Harvard Forest Schoolyard Ecology program hosted its annual Spring Workshop, where twenty teachers convened to learn from Harvard Forest ecologists about project protocols an how these themes are being integrated into class curricula.

The group also climbed the canopy walk up tower for a new way of looking at the forest. The cohort also celebrated the data anniversaries, or “data-versaries” of seven long-time contributors!
