The Northeastern States Research Cooperative (NSRC) is a competitive grant program that supports cross-disciplinary, collaborative research in the Northern Forest — a 26-million acre working landscape that is home to over a million residents and stretches from eastern Maine through New Hampshire and Vermont and into northern New York. A central component of the program is the importance of the Northern Forest to society and the need for research activities to have relevance and benefit to the people who live within its boundaries, work with its resources, use its products, visit it, and care about it.

In order to connect NSRC-funded researchers with practitioners and members of the Northern Forest community, NSRC Theme One hosts Research in Progress Seminars. These small gatherings allow researchers to discuss their ongoing investigations with managers and other interested parties, to the benefit of all.

We began recording the seminars in fall 2011, and will continue to post future seminars so more distant colleagues and parties interested in the Northern Forest can have access to the presented information.
