Chris Merkord Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Call for Papers 39th Annual Natural Areas Conference October 9-12, 2012 - Norfolk, Virginia Hosted by the Natural Areas Association and co-hosted by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation The conference will provide hands-on workshops, field trips and enlightening presentations designed to foster learning and promote discussion around the conference theme: Keeping Natural Areas Relevant and Resilient in today’s dynamic, competitive and technology/information-driven environment. It has become apparent to many natural resource managers that program budgets are tighter, constituent support is more critical than ever, outreach and messaging have become critical program functions – and time is more valuable than ever before. Yet, we endeavor to maintain and grow active resource protection and conservation programs. How can public and private conservation efforts stay relevant and resilient in this changing landscape? And, how can natural areas managers maintain resilient ecosystems that can withstand or adapt to change? The 2012 Natural Areas Conference, through plenary sessions, symposia, contributed oral and poster presentations, networking opportunities and field trips will provide a forum to explore these themes as well as other topics that are relevant to natural areas conservation, ranging from invasive species to fire ecology to outreach, communication and marketing. Abstracts to be Published in Conference Proceedings Abstracts for all papers and posters presented at the 2012 Natural Areas Conference will be published in a special Conference Proceedings edition of the Natural Areas Journal! Abstract Submission must be received by July 1, 2012 For more information: Full Call for Papers: http://www.naturalar...-for-Papers.pdf Conference Website: http://www.naturalar...g/12conference/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
