The Catskill Forest Preserve may be ‘Forever Wild’ but that does not make it immune from stressors introduced from the outside.

Join us for the next CERM

The Catskill Environmental Research & Monitoring (CERM) Conference brings together researchers and natural resource managers working in the Catskills to share study findings and identify plans to collaboratively meet science needs for the Catskills. The CERM Conference is an opportunity to gather for strategic conversations about environmental research and management. See presentations from CERM 2022 and past conferences.

At each conference we welcome abstracts on the conference theme, or any aspect of environmental research and monitoring in the Catskill region or research from other areas that is relevant to the Catskills. We encourage presentations that review the state of knowledge in a particular area of specialization, identify areas where research or monitoring is lacking, or discuss new research methods that could be applied to the Catskills.

An early Call for Abstracts will be issued in March 2025.
