Volunteers of the PA/NJ Chapter will have an information table at the Native Plants in the Landscape Conference

Stop by and say hello!

Dr. William Powell, Co-Director of the American Chestnut Research & Restoration Project at SUNY Syracuse, will be among the speakers this year so this is a great opportunity for you to learn more about their transgenic research.

Native Plants in the Landscape Conference – Lancaster County

The purpose of this conference is:
-to increase the knowledge, propagation, cultivation and use of native plants in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions;
-to promote methods of land management and design that respect “sense of place” by preserving and restoring native species and natural processes;
-to engender an appreciation of regionally appropriate landscapes that are harmonious for people and nature;

While the subject of the conference pertains to native plant communities, the spirit of the conference is to build human communities among a broad range of participants by designing a conference affordable to all; encouraging formal and informal exchanges of information, and providing opportunities for social interaction.
