Explore science in progress from above tree line to below lake level! In 2024, UVM scientists shared their research with the public during monthly Tuesday evening seminars from June to November at ECHO. On the Saturdays following the seminar, alumni of UVM’s Field Naturalist graduate program led field walks at UVM Natural Areas and other properties where such research takes place.
