The final event of the county-wide celebration is hosted at the Environmental Resources Center. All are welcome to attend.

Conservation Conversation

Spend the day making connections with organizations and agencies from across the region and learn about exciting work that is going on right here in our backyard! The Conversation is a day-long event, and includes displays, posters, and speaker sessions. This event is meant as an opportunity to bring people together to share ideas and develop collaborations, with the shared vision of conservation. All are welcome to attend.
