The Stewardship Network and the Midwest Land Trust Alliance partner this year to bring you two great days of informative talks and workshops that will focus on Stewardship and A Sense of Place. Deep local knowledge of Place is an invaluable resource for understanding our role caring for natural lands and waters and how our work relates to regional, national and global events. We're interested in hearing about your research and experience of the relationship between people and the land they work to protect.

Oral Presentations: Abstracts are invited from all topics relating to ecological restoration, including although not limited to natural areas ecology, invasive species ecology and management, native habitats, use of prescribed fire, successful partnerships, policy innovations, and economics.  However, preference will be given to abstracts reflecting the main theme of the 2011 Conference.  Presentations are arranged in a concurrent session format and will be no longer than an hour each.  Presenters chose will receive complimentary registration for the day of their presentation.
