We are excited to announce the annual Lacawac Ecology Conference (LEC) to be held September 27 - 28, 2013 at Lacawac Sanctuary in the Poconos of Northeast Pennsylvania (Lake Ariel, PA).
LEC provides: - A great venue for connecting with regional scientists - An opportunity to discuss research ideas in an informal setting (for both students and faculty) - Building new collaborations in the Northeast Region - Lodging in our beautiful and historic Great Camp Lodge, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places This year we have Dr. Lynn Christenson from Vassar College as our plenary speaker. She is an ecologist who has worked on diverse projects including: how invasive insect pests influence forest nutrient cycling, how atmospheric nitrogen deposition in the Catskill Mountains can influence forest nutrient dynamics, and how shifts in winter climate regimes will impact multiple levels of forest community structure and function (including trees, shrubs, and moose). For more details, see our webpage: http://www.lacawac.org/?p=96 Registration should be received by September 13, 2013 and please contact Lesley Knoll (lesley.kn...@lacawac.org) with any questions. Thank you from the Lacawac Ecology Conference Organizing Committee, Lesley Knoll, Bruce Hargreaves, Dale Holen, Paul Wilson, and Craig Williamson
