Folks, you really need to attend this conference! We've got an incredible program put together, with keynote addresses from Gerould Wilhelm, Principal Botanist/Ecologist at Conservation Design Forum, and Henry Lickers, Director of the Department of Environment for the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne. Both are captivating speakers who should be really interesting to hear! Friday night we've got a neat "Power of Story" Program lined up featuring some great local Nature Writers. Of course, there will be great research papers presented on Friday, a poster session, concurrent sessions on Saturday, and LOTS of networking opportunities for the 500 attendees that we're expecting from across the Midwest. Last year was tremendous; this year should be even better! If you're interested in ecological restoration issues in the Midwest, this is THE conference to attend! Hope to see you there!
