University of Nature offers a one day conference with in-depth learning for experienced and beginner nature enthusiasts alike. Spend a beautiful fall day outside at the Schuylkill Center learning something new. With guided hikes, workshops, and lectures on topics ranging from botany, birds, and butterflies, to environmental art and the intersection between technology and the environment, the conference will be a unique gathering. Stay afterwards for the opening reception of the newest show in the environmental art gallery.
We'll also present the 9th annual Henry Meigs Award for Environmental Leadership to Dr. Ann F. Rhoads, recently retired after 36 years at the Morris Arboretum, who will offer a workshop/walk on the future of Pennsylvania forests. Dr. Ann Rhoads is a legend among the region's ecological scientists, having authored numerous books and spent decades committed to botanical field work, including surveys of endangered, threatened, and rare plants.
