We seek to educate\, inform\, and facilitate dialogue among local and regional organizations and other stakeholders about the opportunities and challenges for conservation efforts in our growing community. By coming together to share research\, experience\, and perspectives\, participants foster collaboration to promote the best outcomes for the quality of life in our region. \nThis year’s event will be different than years past and will be designed to be more than just a series of presentations and display opportunities. We’re creating space and fostering dialogue for conservation practitioners\, researchers\, planners\, educators\, students\, and community leaders to share ideas\, build connections\, and imagine what’s possible when we work together. From neighborhoods and parks\, to campuses\, businesses\, and public spaces\, there are countless opportunities to rethink how our communities interact with nature – and how we interact with one another.
