Winter Data Workshop(s!)
REGISTER for winter data workshops here
The fall has fallen and the data is collected. It is now time to think about one of our favorite winter traditions for Schoolyard Ecology--Winter Data Workshop! We will get cozy, get that data entered, and think about what the science is telling you about your schoolyard.
We are excited that we have have the opportunity to offer TWO options again this year!
Option 1- Full Data Workshop in Petersham: Our Traditional Data Workshop at the Harvard Forest, Petersham, MA with all of our wonderful ecologists. This is open to all schoolyard ecology teachers regardless of the project or how many years you’ve been collecting data. We will offer three levels for you to choose from. Whether it’s getting support entering your data or designing a lesson plan from the database or getting specific feedback from project scientists on what your data may mean, we’ve got something for everyone!
The workshop will be at the Fisher Museum, Harvard Forest, 324 N. Main Street, Petersham, MA.
Coffee/Tea and light snacks provided
Bring a bagged lunch, laptop, and data
Tuesday, January 27th, 2026-9 am - 3:30 pm at the Fisher Museum at Harvard Forest, Petersham
Option 2- Level 1 only workshop in Cambridge: We are taking the show on the road1 For the convenience of our Boston area teachers who may want to avoid Rt 2 in January, we are offering a version of our workshop at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. While open to any schoolyard educator who would like to come, we will be focusing on data entry support and an introduction to using the Schoolyard Data base with your students. Bring a bagged lunch, snacks, laptop, and data. Parking instructions will be distributed post registration.
