Navajo pottery, and the (in)famous Prairie Fire. Over $5,000 was raised to benefit NAA. Of course the highlight of any NAC is sharing in the fellowship of natural area practitioners and knowing that “we are not alone.” Participants left the conference motivated to protect and manage biodiversity for another year, or at least until the 34th NAC in Cleveland, Ohio. Two Thumbs Up!© goes to Ron Hiebert, Conference Chair, John Vankat, Program Chair, Judy Springer and Mark Daniels of NAU for organizing the field trips, and Julye Evans and the rest of the planning committee for arranging and organizing the facility, program, and events of another successful Natural Areas Conference.
