Dear Hubbard Brook collaborators:



Please help our colleagues by filling out this important survey.  It really
does take only about 15 minutes.   The success of this project depends on
our cooperation and is important for all of us.



Thanks!



Gary

project



Hi everyone,

Thank you to all who have filled out John Besley's final survey for the
Hubbard Brook-Harvard Forest Public Engagement with Science project. I just
got a note from John that his third reminder email will go out tomorrow and
that right now the response numbers are about half of where they were last
year. I know this year is just over-the-top in too many ways to count and
everyone is managing overfull plates. But if you could carve out 15 minutes
sometime this week to fill out John's survey, that would be a huge help to
us in wrapping up this project. We are trying to pull together insights
from all of you about how to improve the public engagement with science
efforts of these LTER programs.



Thank you, thank you. We really appreciate your time and perspectives. I
hope you all are hanging in there.

Best,

Sarah

Dear Colleagues:

We are in our final year of the Public Engagement with Science at LTERs (
PES at LTERs
<https://hubbardbrook.org/articles/embedding-public-engagement-science-lter-sites>)
project, a collaborative effort to embed evidence-based public engagement
within the research programs at Hubbard Brook and Harvard Forest, funded by
NSF’s Advancing Informal STEM Learning program.

At Hubbard Brook, this work has focused on building our capacity to develop
and sustain ongoing positive relationships with stakeholders and
policymakers, with a long-term goal of improving environmental research,
practice, and policy.

John Besley’s research to investigate scientists’ attitudes about public
engagement and the cultures of engagement at Hubbard Brook and Harvard
Forest is an important aspect of this work. In the coming days you’ll be
hearing from John with a link to his final survey for this project.



*Please fill out this survey when you receive the link!* We are a small
sample size and everyone’s participation is really important. Your
responses to John’s survey will directly help shape and grow the engagement
work at Hubbard Brook and across the LTER Network.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please let me know if you have any
questions. Below is a quick summary of our recent project highlights. I
look forward to seeing many of you on Zoom shortly!

Warm wishes,
Sarah


*PES at LTERs Project Highlights at Hubbard Brook*

*Led by the programs team at HBRF: Clara Chaisson, Sarah Garlick, Anthea
Lavallee, and Sarah Thorne; with essential contributions from the USDA
Forest Service staff, and PIs, staff, and students from the LTER program.*

   - Increased capacity to build and sustain relationships with key
   stakeholders, including state and federal policymakers, landowners and land
   managers, NGOs, science educators, community groups, and outdoor recreation
   groups.


   - Increased capacity for regular science communication via social media,
   e-newsletters, the Hubbard Brook website, and outreach to reporters.


   - Successful face-to-face engagement opportunities for scientists and
   stakeholders including stakeholder advisors participating in COS meetings
   (July 2019), online and in-person roundtable dialogues, and a stakeholder
   symposium in Concord.


   - Spin-off public engagement initiatives, supported by our
   relationship-based approach, including Natalie Cleavitt’s citizen science
   work with the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and
   Stephen Kovari and Lynn Christenson’s work with The Nature Conservancy on
   wildlife activity on recreation lands in Conway, New Hampshire.


   - Resilience Science Links synthesis project led by Alix Contosta,
   Shannon Rogers, Peter Groffman, Pamela Templer, and Sarah Garlick,
   involving stakeholders from the Hubbard Brook Advisory Council and
   collaborators from the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services and
   The Nature Conservancy. This synthesis project includes an analysis of
   early warning signals of changing ecological resilience in the Hubbard
   Brook long-term record and an investigation of linkages between community
   resilience and ecological resilience in the White Mountains.


   - Synthesis reports and outreach about winter climate change across the
   Northern Forest
   <https://hubbardbrook.org/sites/default/files/documents/HBRF/reports/ConfrontingOurChangingWinters.pdf>
   and the Ice Storm Experiment
   <http://multimedia.hubbardbrook.org/the-ice-storm-experiment-at-hubbard-brook>
   at Hubbard Brook.
