The Science, Practice & Art of Restoring Native Ecosystems
Where: Kellogg Center in East Lansing, MI
When: Friday and Saturday, January 18 and 19, 2013
Community conservation catalyzes, facilitates, trains and provides resources to empower people from all walks of life to engage in caring for the natural world around them. As this is what The Stewardship Newtork does every day, I am very pleased to announce Community Conservation as the theme of our 2013 Science, Practice & Art of Restoring Native Ecosystems conference. Please join us in January 2013 for our sixth gathering.
Through plenary talks, focused presentations and workshops, conference participants will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of how effective community conservation can be developed and what it can accomplish. All these issues and more are enhanced through community conservation:
- Global Biodiversity
- Water Quality
- Environmental Justice
- Species of Concern
- Watershed Protection
- Prescribed Fire
|
- Game Species
- Areas of Concern
- Invasive Species Control
- Environmental Education
- Sustainable Land Use
- Native Pollinators
|
This approach engages local people (aka us in our own backyards) to manage and conserve natural resources within the social, cultural and economic context of their communities and facilitates the widespread, global adoption of community-based conservation.
Save these dates! We look forward to seeing you at the 2013 Science, Practice & Art of Restoring Native Ecosystem conference.
