For 20 years, the Harvard Forest Schoolyard Ecology community has brought young people outdoors to collect scientific data in their local environment and has given teachers the support they need to teach real science with real data.

Whether monitoring forest research plots, measuring bud burst, tracking the spread of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, or learning to create graphs from long-term data, Schoolyard Ecology participants have contributed significant data to Harvard Forest's ecological research over the years.

Amid the increasingly complex landscape of teaching in higher education, the Program provides participating instructors with inspirational and relevant frameworks to advance STEAM curriculums across Massachusetts (and beyond!). 

This season of giving, help us continue to build data literacy and engage the next generation of climate leaders by connecting students with their natural world.
