Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest is a collaborative endeavor where we must be responsible stewards of the forest and each others' investments in studying the forest. Therefore, we have instituted a set of orientation guides to help everyone understand where studies are in the valley, what they look like, why they are important and how to responsibly treat these studies. We also hope that you will find these guides informative and empowering in the sense of becoming a steward of the forest and a member of our research community.
