Following a three-year hiatus, the Northeastern States Research Cooperative has been revitalized, thanks to $2 million in funding for the 2020 fiscal year from the U.S. Forest Service. The grant program originated in New Hampshire and has supported research conducted by Hubbard Brook researchers, including studies that investigate winter climate change, water quality, forest inventory management, and changes in forest ecosystems.   

Days before the New Hampshire primary, the first-of-its-kind day-long event with 2020 presidential candidates elevated the climate conversation at a crucial decision point.

The dramatic declines described in the Science study echo issues that Hubbard Brook scientists have highlighted in the past—that events happening during the breeding season, migration, and in the winter grounds can all have a significant impact on bird abundance.
