Wild Things Conference
Saturday, February 7, 2009
Wild Things Conference on February 7, 2009
Call for Presenters, deadline October 20, 2008
Save the date — February 7 — for the third biennial Wild Things conference, a gathering of this region’s nature conservation community, at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
You’re invited to consider making a presentation — or recommend others to do so. Can you think of someone in our community who has shown inspiring leadership and who we can learn something important from? Perhaps a good way of attracting volunteers, or a technique to make restoration or monitoring more effective? This doesn’t have to be a 40-minute presentation; sessions can be divided among two to four people. Or have you heard a great speaker that we all could benefit from? Please see our call for presentations and nominations for details at http://www.habitatproject.org/wildthings2009
The deadline to respond for presentations is October 20th, 2008.
Can you help ensure that the conference information gets to your organization's newsletter editor, webmaster, or listserve operator? If you would like to be one of the main contacts for sharing and distributing Wild Things conference information, please let us know by contacting Ryan White, Audubon field representative at 4ryanwhite@gmail.com.
The keynote speaker for Wild Things 2009 is Doug Ladd, Director of Conservation Science, Missouri Field Office of The Nature Conservancy. He will share reflections — inspirational, humorous and a little philosophical — from his many years of experience in natural areas management in our region.
More information will be posted on the website in the coming months at http://www.habitatproject.org/wildthings2009
