Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center (ACRC) is a relatively new institute within UAS that develops and delivers educational opportunities, facilitates and convenes research, and promotes learning for the community about temperate rainforests. ACRC partners with multiple state, federal, Native, and non-governmental entities to achieve this goal. Allison Bidlack will give an introduction to the Center, and facilitate a series of short presentations highlighting several examples of collaborative rainforest research in Southeast Alaska.
