2016 Natural Areas Conference

Join us in California for the 2016 Natural Areas Conference, which will explore strategies and tactics that resource and natural areas managers can employ to prepare for and respond to climate change. View our special Video Invitation from Conference Chair Hugh Safford for preview of coming attractions.

The campus of the University of California-Davis will be the setting for this event, which will explore themes including connecting ecological restoration and adaptation, assisted migration, tree planting, prescribed fire and wildland fire use, native plant materials, meadow and stream restoration, pollinators and carbon and biomass markets.

We have an impressive line-up for our two-day plenary session, including James Aronson, Greg Aplet, Valerie Eviner, Don Falk, Healy Hamilton, Richard Hobbs, Katharine Suding, Chris Swanston, and John Wiens.

Access more details on our conference website. Registration will open in late July. NAA members will receive an email notifying them when it’s open. If you’re not a member, join our email list or follow us on Facebook for updates and announcements.
