Friends of the Forest Hike; Meet the Scientists!

We are inviting our Friends of the Forest to the sixth annual Friends Only event here at Black Rock Forest!

Do you wonder about the ongoing research at the Forest? Here is your opportunity to learn from the scientists and ask questions while enjoying the trails of Black Rock Forest!

Our Friends of the Forest are invited to meet the scientists: Matthew Donahue, PhD student from the University of Connecticut, Dr. Hanna Makowski, Post Doctoral Research Fellow of Black Rock Forest and Dr. Isabel Ashton, Executive Director of Black Rock Forest.

We are offering TWO start times (1:00pm and 1:30pm) to ensure that everyone has a chance to interact with each scientist.

The event will include: Coffee, Jones Farm donuts & apples at check-in. Maps will be provided for self-guided walks to speaker locations.

Only Friends of the Forest (annual supporters) will be admitted to this private event!
