Earthwatch Institute, an international nonprofit, is moving its headquarters from Maynard to Harvard-owned property in Allston this spring.
The 50-member staff will occupy 15,000 square feet at 114 Western Ave. that once housed WGBH’s headquarters.
The organization, one of the largest private funders of research expeditions, will offer three fellowships for Allston and Brighton public school teachers to join one of its research expeditions to advance public understanding of science and the environment.
The group, which helps volunteers partake in scientific research, also plans to hold lectures, open houses, and other outreach events for neighboring communities, starting in June.
Harvard University said the move will help create green jobs in Boston and help build stronger ties between Harvard and Allston. --
