Please join alumni from the Conservation Stewards Program and the Michigan Naturalist Program as well as the greater community for this 3rd annual gathering and educational talk. Enjoy catching up with friends and meeting like-minded folks over strolling appetizers and desserts.

Michigan Natural Features Inventory ecologists Josh Cohen and Mary Parr will be our distinguished guests of the evening and will deliver their presentation, “Setting the Straits on Fire,” which tells the story of the work they are doing through the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s Coastal Program, through which has been established a cooperative agreement with Michigan Natural Features Inventory, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, and the University of Minnesota, to prioritize biodiversity stewardship within the Straits Region.

We’ll wrap up the evening by exploring Matthaei’s conservatory, which comes alive in the dark, cold evening hours of February!

This event FREE and open to the public. Participants are responsible for paying for parking.
