MONUMENT RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM
The Monument Research Symposium is an annual event where Friends Research Fund grant recipients present on their research and findings. These grants support graduate and undergraduate students, as well as Indigenous Americans, who conduct research intended to enhance our understanding, appreciation, preservation, and/or protection of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. Areas of research include, but are not limited to, biology, environmental sciences/education, geology, sociology, arts and humanities, Indigenous studies, history and business.
