*Hubbard Brook in the News *

   - On the 20th Anniversary of the 1998 Ice Storm, What Do We Know Now
   That We Didn’t Back Then?
   <https://hubbardbrook.org/articles/20th-anniversary-1998-ice-storm-what-do-we-know-now-we-didn%E2%80%99t-back-then>
   - Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies: Taking the Long View:
   U.S. Researchers Affirm Value of Long Term Research
   <https://environment.yale.edu/news/article/survey-affirms-value-of-long-term-ecological-evolutionary-research>

*Outreach and Education Update **(Including recent and planned speaking
engagements for public audiences, community outreach events, and K–12
education involvement)*

   - Thank you to everyone who participated in the science communication
   "messaging" exercise at the last COS meeting. We will have the results of
   the exercise to share with everyone during the April COS meeting.
   - Mark Green represented Hubbard Brook at the annual meeting of the
   Connecticut River Watershed Farmers Alliance. From Mark: “It was a great
   opportunity to let them know about the basic understanding of forested
   watersheds being generated by their neighbors. And, it was interesting to
   hear their exchanges about how they are using informal ecosystem
   understanding to run their farms, particularly the no-till operations. An
   interesting tidbit that the Hubbard Brook group might enjoy is that these
   farmers are having to apply sulfur to their corn crops. So, they have a
   complicated perspective on the reduction in regional sulfur deposition.”
   - Nat Cleavitt is stepping into a new role doing educational outreach
   for the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation. Nat will visit classrooms
   throughout New Hampshire to give lessons on her book, Seeking the Wolf
   Tree. She got off to a whirlwind start on January 25 at the Haverhill
   Cooperative Middle School and Woodsville Elementary School, where she led
   interactive lessons for 159 students in 6th grade, 7th grade, and
   Kindergarten. Next up are Bath Village School on February 9 and Piermont
   Village School on March 22.

*Save the Date*

   - The next in a new series of informal brown bag lunch seminars at
   Hubbard Brook’s Pierce Laboratory will take place on *February 7 at 12
   pm*, with Mark Green presenting on tracking water vapor in New Hampshire
   Forests.
   - The April Committee of Scientists meeting will be a joint meeting with
   guests from the Harvard Forest on *April 11, 2018* at the Cary Institute
   of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York. The meeting theme is Public
   Engagement with Science, led by Sarah Garlick and Kathy Fallon Lambert.

*Announcements*

   - The Hubbard Brook Research Foundation is currently taking reservations
   for the upcoming field season, and spots are filling up quickly. If you
   have not yet done so, please reach out to Elisa at
