Join us for our 2025 Conference: "Strong Roots, Igniting Change" November 13-15 at Beaver Creek Reserve near Eau Claire. Share your expertise and experience by submitting a conference session, leading a field trip, or hosting a hands-on experience by July 31.


We are looking for traditional conference presentations, field trips, poster sessions, and active submissions that take advantage of the beautiful scenery in and around the reserve.

  • Exemplify incorporating NGSS standards into your curriculum while searching the creek for macroinvertebrates.
  • Discuss traditional ecological knowledge while sitting outside in the prairie.
