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).

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
