Beyond the Hill

We love joining libraries and other community spaces to share more information about the weather, climate and our environment. Invite us into your community space to share information about Blue Hill Observatory’s longstanding climate record, data collection, instruments, storms and more. See some of our offerings below or suggest one that fits your program.

Lectures
BHO Lecture

Blue Hill Observatory can share a wide variety of information via lectures, such as:

  • History of the Observatory
  • Our changing climate
  • Seasonal weather phenomena, including storms
Educator Trainings
Educator Training

We partner with organizations, schools, educator preparation programs and other groups to support ongoing training for educators. In the past, we have partnered with BU GLOBE Mission Earth at Boston University to train teachers on the GLOBE tools and how to use GLOBE and Blue Hill Observatory data within lesson plans.

Community Events
Community Events at BHO

Blue Hill Observatory is a great location to host a community event, especially at the summit of Great Blue Hill. Annually, we partner with Friends of the Blue Hills to host the Sunset Hike and Hilltop Concert.

Create Your Own Program
Custom Program

While we have set programs and offerings, we are always looking to partner with organizations, schools, universities and other programs to create meaningful opportunities for learners of all ages. Inquire with your own ideas to collaborate with us!

Interested in bringing Blue Hill Observatory to your community? We’d love to hear from you.
