Summary descriptions of Harvard's educational activities in Estabrook Woods, can be found (1) for the late sixties and early seventies in the MCZ's Annual Reports (Mayr Library) and in Woodruff, D.S., ed., "Concord Field Station--A Guide to Resources," (a collection of 12 studies., MCZ, 1973-1974, esp.

Richard Taylor to Lawrence Terry. These mention the research and collecting done by many students from a variety of disciplines, and national and regional figures, including Robert E. Cook, Mary Walker, Otto Solbrig, and Ray Angelo. The latter's Concord Area Trees and Shrubs was reissued by the MCZ in 1990. (The Countway Laboratory of the Concord Field Station in Bedford housed many of these collections until 1999, when unfortunately most were dispersed and the Center for Population Studies was closed.) Other CFS material from the 1960s-80s was unavailable to me.
