We know of approximately 400 biological field stations in the United States and 223 of them responded to our Outreach Survey. In our research, a field station is any establishment that 1) calls itself a field station and 2) supports scientists conducting research on or near its premises (See Struminger et al. 2018). Any field station that had a representative complete the Outreach Survey appears below as a hyperlink. You can click on the link to learn more about their outreach programming.
