The Harvard Forest is part of a national network of sites that supports K-12 teachers and students in hands-on ecological research. In the Harvard Forest Schoolyard LTER program, teachers learn about and initiate ecology research in their classrooms and schoolyards. Students learn to collect data on important long-term ecological issues and processes. Student data are then shared on the Harvard Forest website. [From the Harvard Forest website]
