The annual Natural Areas
Conference is one of the nation’s premier
gatherings of conservation and resource management professionals,
educators and scientists, and the annual gathering of Natural Area
Association members.
Climate change
is the greatest challenge facing conservation professionals. This
event will feature strategies
and tactics that resource and natural areas managers
can employ to
prepare for and respond to climate change on the ground,
and explore themes such as connecting ecological restoration and
adaptation, assisted migration, tree planting, prescribed fire and
wildland fire use, native plant materials, meadow and stream
restoration, pollinators, and carbon and biomass markets.
