National Science Foundation Logos
Where the National Science Foundation is the primary sponsor of a program, the agency must be prominently acknowledged through the use of the NSF logo and accompanying text. Complete details on the correct use of the NSF logo is available on the NSF website.
Many additional photos and network graphics can be found in the LTER network Smugmug account.
LTER Network Logos
In 2017, the LTER Network developed a new logo to replace the traditional blue globe. The new logo strives to capture the nature of LTER Network science and to communicate both the proud history and the dynamic future of the Network. png and jpg files are available from the links below.
The horizontal logo is the primary LTER network logo and should be used whenever space and design considerations allow. The SVG file is a vector graphics file, which will allow users to create TIFF or EPS files at whatever size they desire.

A square version is also available, primarily for social media applications. The SVG file is a vector graphics file, which will allow users to create TIFF or EPS files at whatever size they desire.

2026 Strategic Plan Summary
This one-page summary of the LTER Network strategic plan highlights Network priorities and provides a quick overview for high-level decision makers. It does not cover all of the proposed actions or some of the rationale behind the choices that were made. It is ideal for use as a leave-behind in conjunction with a conversation about LTER’s unique value as a network of long-term, place-based research programs.
2025 One-Pager
The 2025 LTER Network one-pager is designed to be used in conjunction with a similar site-centric document to describe how sites work together as a network to provide value to researchers, environmental managers, and communities at both the local and national scales.
