2026 OSU College of Forestry Starker Lecture Series: A century of research forest discoveries.
In the Starker Lecture on March 11 Fred Swanson will address the topic “What have we learned from decades of forest research?”, drawing mainly on the long history of inquiry at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. The talk will feature perspectives about how the diverse processes of learning have evolved over the decades and will be accompanied by exhibits of art and three dozen books for a public readership that draw creative inspiration from the Forest and from science. The art will be exhibited March 9 to April 17.
