HJA Day 2022 is CANCELLED due to precautions and social distancing requirements around COVID-19.  The USFS headquarters of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest remains closed. 

HJA Day is an annual field gathering to share information about research, outreach, education, management, and arts and humanities at the Andrews Forest. The full-day event takes place at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest in Blue River, Oregon, and features presentations and field trips. HJA Day is hosted by the Andrews Forest Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program.  See Photos of HJA Day.
