Long-term ecological research in New Hampshire's White Mountains since 1955.
Explore ResearchOver 60 years of continuous watershed monitoring provides unparalleled data on forest-stream ecosystem dynamics, nutrient cycling, and climate change responses.

Learn more →Hubbard Brook welcomes graduate researchers, K–12 educators, and citizen scientists to engage with one of North America's most studied forest ecosystems.
Learn more →Established in 1955 in New Hampshire's White Mountains, the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest is a landmark of ecological science. Here, researchers first documented the devastating reach of acid rain in North America, linking industrial emissions to forest die-off hundreds of miles away. Today, our scientists continue to investigate how northern hardwood forests respond to climate change, invasive species, and shifting precipitation patterns — generating data that informs policy from Washington to Geneva.
