<div style="font-size:10pt;">Science is part of our daily lives. We use it to make choices, from how to dress for the weather to managing our woodlots. Whether you're a private citizen or a public policy-maker, science provides the raw material for environmental decision-making. In a time of declining federal support, private citizens are being called on like never before to invest in the science that grounds our policies and practices. At Hubbard Brook, we supply the science that prepares decision-makers to address emerging environmental issues related to water quality, extreme weather, and our changing winter climate, to name just a few topics of ongoing study. <br/> <br/></div>
<div><span style="font-size:10pt;">No one knows this better than Hubbard Brook's cooperating scientists. Dr. Gene Likens is the personification of Hubbard Brook science-to-policy; his discovery of acid rain at Hubbard Brook in the 1960s led to the Clean Air Act Amendments that protect our air and water quality today. Gene's belief in the power of Hubbard Brook science and outreach is unwavering. So is his faith in private citizens to invest in its potential. With our environmental future at stake, Gene isn't willing to give up on science. Let's show him that we share his conviction. </span></div>
