CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT Wisconsin Wetlands Association's 18th Annual Wetlands Conference
Blue Harbor Resort, Sheboygan, Wisconsin February 12-14, 2013 Wisconsin Wetlands Association invites you to participate in our 18th Annual Wetlands Conference. The conference will highlight the environmental, socio-cultural, and economic value of wetlands and will promote the latest research on and techniques for wetland restoration and management. The conference program will include a keynote address, theme-focused sessions, general wetland sessions, one or two symposia or special sessions, a banquet with speaker, working groups, and field trips.
