2026 Starker Lecture Series
In 1926, Oregon State University acquired the first parcel of what is now a statewide network of 10 research forests. The 2026 Starker Lecture Series will explore the history of these forests and how perspectives and stewardship have shifted with new knowledge and pressures. It will also show how today’s approaches are laying the groundwork for the next generation of learning, building on a century of discoveries that continue to shape our understanding of forests in a changing world. All lectures are held in the Peavy Forest Science Center (PFSC) on the Corvallis campus, or available to attend remotely on Zoom.
