Smithsonian Environmental Research Center

Understanding Ecosystems for a Sustainable Future

As a public health precaution, the Smithsonian is extending the cancelation or postponement of all rentals, public events, programming and gatherings through June 1. The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center remains temporarily closed to the public, including our buildings, trails and other parts of the campus. Due to the rapidly changing nature of the situation, we are not announcing a reopening date at this time and will provide updates on a week-to-week basis on our website. Please check back frequently for updates.
