Friends of Harvard Magazine are cordially invited to join us for a special gallery talk:

NEW ENGLAND FORESTS

David Foster, senior lecturer on biology and director of the Harvard Forest, will lead us through this brand-new exhibit that explores the natural history and ecology of our regional forests, their responses to human activity, and their environmental significance. We will learn about the ecology of woodland caribou, wolves, and other wildlife of New England; lichen cities that cling to rocks; and the circle of life within and around a forest pond, from tiny aquatic insects to giant moose. 

Followed by a reception and Q&A.
