Come hear about active research being done at the Preserve first-hand from scientists.

For the first time since 2019 (pre-pandemic), we are bringing back the popular communal potluck on the Research Center’s porch overlooking Lincoln Pond, which will then be followed by a presentation from a researcher about their work. Please bring a dish to share.

Portions of this event will be inside. We ask that you please stay home if you have symptoms of Covid-19 or have recently tested positive.
