During the summer of 2008, BNZ staff and scientists coordinated efforts to host two separate week long field trips to the Bonanza Creek LTER. The first hosted a group undergraduate students and their advisors coordinated through the Ecological Society of America (ESA) and the second brought students and faculty from historically black collages coordinated by the United Negro College Fund (UNCF).

Starting in 2006 the BNZ investigators began hosting annual lecture series that would address research themes related to the research proposal.

A 'Collaboration/Integration of LTER Science with Arts and the Humanities' that originally took place on March 21, 2008 and gave a performance in Fairbanks combining the efforts from writers, artists and scientists.

This program was developed by Katie Villano (BNZ Graduate Student) and Christine Villano (FNSB Teacher) to promote awareness and research involving invasive plant species. It set out with three distinct units of activities: 1) Alaskan teachers and students will become familiarized with invasive and non-native plant species currently in Alaska, 2) Students will conduct meaningful, cutting edge research in experiments adapted from current University of Alaska experiments, and 3) Students will explore the relationships between human society, culture and invasive plants in Alaska.
