Fall Lecture Series

Plantations Fall Lecture Series features prominent speakers on a broad range of popular horticultural, natural sciences, and human cultural themes. The series takes place in the Statler Auditorium on alternate Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. during September, October, and November.

The Fall Lecture Series may also be taken for credit by Cornell-enrolled students as Hort 4800, a 1-credit, S/U course.  Students attend Plantations lectures and on non-lecture Wednesdays, the class meets to discuss content from the previous week. Students are required to write a reaction paper for each lecture.

Listen to Richard Louv's lecture via CornellCast.

All lectures are held in the Statler Auditorium on the Cornell University campus, except for the first lecture, which is held in Warren Hall on the Cornell University campus. Ample free parking is available after 5 p.m. in the parking garage on Hoy Road, just a short walk away.
Handicapped access is available at the back of the Statler. For additional information, please call 607-255-2400.
