The 2025 MLBS Open House will be held Saturday, June 28 from 2-5pm! This family-friendly event is a unique opportunity to meet MLBS biologists and artists, explore our historic facilities, learn first-hand about Station research, and enjoy the outdoors. Come experience open labs, exhibits, hands-on activities, nature walks, arts and crafts, open art studios, and more! MLBS is a diverse community of researchers, students, artists, and others from around the world who live, learn, study, and create atop beautiful Salt Pond Mountain. Updates may be posted on the Facebook event page, and a schedule will be posted below (stay tuned!). We hope you'll join us for an afternoon of fun and learning in nature’s classroom!

Dogs are not allowed anywhere on station property, including in vehicles.
