Registration Opens for GRN Workshop at Nachusa Grasslands, Franklin Grove, Illinois, September 10 and 11, 2024

Our target audience are a mix of staff with various experience levels who are involved in creating high diversity habitat for an agency or non-profit.   We can be a bit wonkish on tools, techniques, and strategies. Attendees might be a seasonal crew member, or a new hire who would benefit from interacting with seasoned experts.  They may be people who do the science of restoration.  The mix of folks who attend these workshops has been enjoyable. 

Agenda: We have several concurrent field trips planned, to keep the group size low enough for discussions to prosper.  We will look at and discuss various prairie restorations, a savanna or two, equipment used, our seed room, on-going science work, brush work and its overlap with prescribed fire.

    Will there be a waitlist available for this workshop?

    • Joni, I am inquiring into whether the software allows a wait list. Meanwhile, I can create one by hand and put you on it. If anyone else wants to be on a waitlist they can add a comment here and tell us the agency, location, and number of folks interested.

        A waitlist would be wonderful if possible! I am from the St. Charles Park District and was hoping to sign up myself and 3 staff members (4 total) to the conference. Even if there is a spot or two that opens up I’d be happy to send my staff that would most benefit.
