NEERS heads to "America's Hometown", Plymouth, MA for our Spring Meeting. We're holding it earlier than usual and hoping for a warm (but not too warm) April so everyone can enjoy the Plymouth waterfront in between the always compelling talks . Plymouth has many interesting historical and natural sights to see, including (the somewhat diminutive) Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower, Plymouth Long Beach, and Brewster Gardens (along the restored Town Brook – the herring should be running!) Check out the many historic and natural sites of interest in the area (see below: "Meeting site").
