Annual Conference 2008
We would like to thank all of our conservation colleagues for making our 10th Annual Conference, Nature Within Reach, such a great success! We hosted over 340 attendees, 40 exhibitors, and 14 sponsors. Our speakers focused on environmental education, the connections between land and people, conservation planning, opportunities to consider issues such as transit and housing in land conservation work, projects funded over the past year, and much more. We sought to inspire and educate our guests about the many different faces and methods of land conservation in the Bay Area. Our conference also provided an opportunity for conservation professionals to connect with one another and learn about emerging issues in open space protection. We look forward to our second decade of conferences next summer, and look forward to working with you throughout the year.
