Vancouver, WA (USA) — just across the Columbia River and 15 minutes from Portland, Oregon — you're invited to the 36th Annual Natural Areas Conference, hosted by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Areas Association. The conference will examine the many edges in conservation land management, including edges for species, habitats, human society and the earth.

Educational Opportunities

Research

Discover the latest research results for species and habitat management, and learn about the challenges, successes and pitfalls in conservation site management.

Stewardship

Attend thought-provoking plenary sessions, symposia, workshops and hands-on field trips to Washington and Oregon natural areas and features.

Networking

Share your story of conservation stewardship and learn from more than 500 of our nation's conservation leaders.

Plan for the Conference

Full registration is extremely cost-effective and includes: admittance to the Plenary, all sessions for the week, a continental breakfast on most days, a Thursday field trip/workshop and the Awards Dinner on Thursday night. Daily and Student registration is also available throughout the week.

Non-members will have the opportunity to join the NAA while registering for the conference, thus securing the discounted rate. You can Join the NAA today to automatically receive all announcements and updates related to the 2009 Conference, and assure the lowest conference registration rate.

Discounted hotel rooms at the conference headquarters hotel are still available. The conference and government rates apply while inventory lasts, so early conference registration and hotel reservations are important.

If you are not an NAA member, and are not able to join NAA at this time, yet you'd like to receive updates about the 2009 Conference, contact us at info@naturalarea.org and we'll add you to our mailing list.
