WeConservePA, local land trusts and conservation organizations help people conserve the lands needed for healthy, prosperous, and secure communities—the forests, farms, parks, urban gardens and other green places that safeguard our drinking water, prevent flooding, protect wildlife, provide recreational and economic opportunities, and preserve scenic beauty and community treasures.
The agenda for the Conference features nearly 40 workshop sessions, mobile seminars and much more.
The keystone speaker will be Dr. Diane Husic who will speak on the topic of "Budburst, Bird Migrations, Bloom Times and Bug Hatches - their Times They Are Changin'
For centuries, seasonal activities of animals and plants have been monitored for cultural purposes and celebrations, by farmers and gardeners to determine planting and harvesting times, and by naturalists. This observational practice evolved into a scientific area of study known as phenology.
Dr. Husic will share history and examples and provide connections between phenology, conservation science, and land management.
