**CANCELLED** Engaging Local Communities, Part 2: Seed Projects

September 24, 2025 @ 9:00 am –

***EVENT CANCELLED***

PLEASE REGISTER INSTEAD FOR OUR OCTOBER COMMUNITY CALL: Co-creating knowledge: a panel discussion on community-inspired research across long-term ecological studies

In our August community call, we heard from three LTER sites that pursued intensive strategic planning and community conversations through the APEAL Project. This month, we’ll hold a conversation with sites that invested modest seed funding in starting or deepening relationships with individual community partners. Come be inspired by the outcomes that can result when we find the time and motivation to engage intentionally and with openness.

——————————————————————–

The LTER monthly community call provides an opportunity to hold seminars, discussions, and learning opportunities of relevance to the broad LTER research community. These may include research seminars, discussions of emerging projects and methods, or the occasional organizational update.

Please join us this October for a virtual panel showcasing community-inspired research across LTER sites. This 75-minute discussion will feature researchers from urban, marine, arctic, and other ecosystems sharing their experiences in collaborative science that empowers communities while advancing research goals.
