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

   - HBRF hosted a roundtable dialogue on April 5 about winter climate
   change with investigators from the Northeast Ecosystem Research
   Cooperative <https://nercscience.wordpress.com/> as part of a NSRC-funded
   synthesis project
   <https://nsrcforest.org/project/winter-climate-change-northern-forest-scientific-synthesis-and-practical-solutions>.
   The dialogue involved 21 participants from groups around New England,
   including representatives from Manomet, the New England Forestry
   Foundation, Northeast Climate Science Center, United South and Eastern
   Tribes, Ski NH, VT Association of Snow Travelers, White Mountain National
   Forest, and Loon Mountain.

   - Lindsey Rustad presented on “Angling in a Warming World” at the
   Mollyockett Chapter of Trout Unlimited in West Paris, ME, on April 18. Her
   talk, “Why Ice Storms Aren’t Cool: Research at the Hubbard Brook
   Experimental Forest,” at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science in
   Quechee, VT, on April 19, led to coverage in the Vermont Standard. Next,
   she’ll be discussing “Changing Climate, Changing Forests” at the
   Androscoggin River Watershed Conference, on May 3, in Bethel, ME.

   - Anthea Lavallee and Jenny Levy, VP of corporate responsibility at
   Hypertherm, led a panel discussion of environmental careers at Hanover High
   School on April 27 as part of their Earth Day celebration.

   - Scott Bailey gave a talk on Hubbard Brook research entitled,
   “Hydropedologic mapping: a novel approach to assessing the ecological
   influence of soils on forests and surface waters,” at the Mark Twain
   National Forest in Missouri. The talk was part of the USDA Forest
   Service-Southwestern Region and Eastern Region, Terrestrial Ecological Unit
   Technology Exchange Training on April 30.

   - Hubbard Brook will host a retreat for graduate fellows from the
   Northeast Climate Science Center from May 14-17. The retreat will bring
   together graduate students, post-docs, and scientists from Missouri to
   Massachusetts to learn about the ecology and management of forests and
   other ecosystems in the region and the research examining climate change
   impacts.

   - Hubbard Brook will host a member gathering from Manomet's Climate
   Smart Land Network on May 23 and 24.

*Save the Date *

   - “The People’s Forest: A Centennial Celebration of the White Mountain
   National Fores
   <https://www.plymouth.edu/museum-of-the-white-mountains/exhibitions/upcoming-exhibitions/>t”
   is opening at the Museum of the White Mountains in Plymouth on May 16 and
   will include materials from Hubbard Brook. The exhibit will be on view
   through September 12, 2018.

   - The LTER All Scientists Meeting
   <https://lternet.edu/lter-scientists-meeting-2018/> will be held in
   Monterey, CA, Oct. 1-4, 2018. The theme is Next Generation Synthesis:
   Successes and Strategies. The deadline to submit workshop and poster
   proposals is* May 30*.

*Announcements *

   - Anthea Lavallee worked with NSRC Theme Leaders to prepare a business
   report
   <https://nsrcforest.org/sites/default/files/uploads/NSRC_Business_Report_FINAL.pdf>
   summarizing the challenges and achievements of this 16-year, federally
   funded program for applied forest research in our region. Outreach to
   congressional delegations of the Northern Forest states is underway in an
   effort to build support for renewed funding.

   - HBES receives $4,000 per year from the LTER network to foster the
   ArtSciConverge program. As updates to the current project, Waterviz, wind
   down, a small group of interested COS members is planning to meet to
   discuss how to continue to grow the ArtSciConverge program and determine
   its direction going forward. If you are interested in participating in this
   group, please contact Lindsey Rustad: lrustad at fs.fed.us.

   - Hubbard Brook Multimedia Stories, a new blog about the science at
   Hubbard Brook, is now accessible from the homepage of the Hubbard Brook
   website. We look forward to adding new stories to the site and welcome
   contributions from investigators, post-docs, and students. If you are
   interested in writing a blog post about your research or contributing
   photos or videos, please contact Clara Chaisson: cchaisson@
   hubbardbrookfoundation.org.

   - Sarah Garlick attended the National Alliance for Broader Impacts
   (NABI) Summit in Providence, Rhode Island, on April 25-27 and presented
   posters from the Ice Storm Experiment and Forest Science Dialogues. The
   conference included information from NSF program officers on the latest
   thinking about broader impacts. If you’re interested in learning more, get
   in touch with Sarah: sgarlick at hubbardbrookfoundation.org.

   - If you are a Cooperator who will be interacting with students or staff
   at HBES in 2018 and have not yet filled out the Safety Information Sheet,

   - With the recent posting of a Chapter entitled “Soil Biology,” edited
   by Peter Groffman and Melany Fisk, the online book, *A Synthesis of
   Research at Hubbard Brook <https://hubbardbrook.org/online-book>*, now
   includes a total of 13 chapters as well as a set of homework problems
   linked to the online data catalog. The book is written at a level for
   advanced students to provide a concise and updateable summary of any and
   all research from the HBES. Contributions and edits from members of the
   HBES COS are encouraged. Additional chapters are in the works on subjects
   including: Acid Rain Effects, Atmospheric Deposition, Soil Mineral
   Weathering, Soil Formation, Birds, Salamanders, and Forest Physiology and
   Phenology. Contacts for this effort are Tim Fahey (feedback, proposed
   chapters, etc.) and Mary Martin (technical support for chapter submissions
   and editing): tjf5 at cornell.edu <tjf5 at cornell.edu>/mary.martin at unh.edu.

Thank you for reading! We appreciate your patience as we continue to refine
our template to make this monthly update as beneficial and succinct as
possible. We welcome your constructive suggestions.
