Field Notes Symposium at the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center
Houston, TX
April 13-14, 2023
The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center is hosting an interactive and intimate environmental symposium in April 2023 to connect Houston area practitioners to share their on-the-ground knowledge and discuss larger conservation initiatives. The goal of this symposium is to foster meaningful dialogue across multi-disciplinary fields – practitioners, educators, designers, landscapers, planners, engineers, and contractors – regarding the methods, management, and messaging for ecological restoration in an urban setting. Participants will connect, compare notes, learn best practices, and become better educators and experts to support and strengthen urban ecological restoration practices, foster collaboration, and encourage innovation to benefit the Greater Houston Region.
