Event Calendar

Now more than ever, the public is seeking the Great Outdoors. Closures and orders to stay-in-place made us acutely aware of our proximity to greenspace and access to nature. This year's Conservation Symposium theme plays off two possible paths to nature: our distance from nature spots and our connection to people who can bring us closer, or introduce us, to nature (ex. through programs and educational experiences). Presenters will cover topics related to greenspace infrastructure, the revitalization of urban watersheds, urban tree initiatives, and programs designed to introduce people to bird/nature watching.

The event is scheduled for Friday, October 30, with virtual presentations in the morning. Attendees can also choose to add a socially distanced afternoon field trip to a number of natural areas in the Cleveland region which showcase our urban greenspaces.
