Curious about the science shaping the future of our region? Join us at the Albany Pine Bush Discovery Center for a special evening that brings research to life.

As part of the Albany Pine Bush Preserve’s Science Lecture Series, this engaging science symposium on Thursday, May 21, 2026 invites you to connect directly with the scientists studying one of the Northeast’s most unique ecosystems. Meet local and regional researchers from leading colleges, universities, and the preserve’s own expert staff as they share current discoveries spanning topics from bird populations and climate change to archaeology and habitat management.

This is a rare opportunity to go beyond the headlines and into the field—learning how research conducted right here in the Pine Bush is informing real-world conservation practices and shaping the future of environmental stewardship.

Enjoy light appetizers and drinks from Date & Olive Grazing Co as you explore interactive displays, ask questions, and engage in meaningful conversations with the people advancing ecological science in our community.

Whether you’re a lifelong learner, a science enthusiast, or simply curious about the natural world, this welcoming evening offers insight, inspiration, and connection.

No reservation required.
