September 10–11, 2025

Join us in Lawrence, Kansas, to share insights from grassland restoration work, research, and outreach while experiencing this unique ecotone region. Small remnant prairies in eastern Kansas host exceptional levels of plant diversity, and the combination of conservation and working lands create a heterogeneous landscape relevant to many restoration opportunities and challenges. Local experts will share their knowledge of ethnobotany, plant ecology, biodiversity, microbiomes, fungi, and feedback in soil in the context of restoring grasslands. A field tour of the KU Field Station will showcase a medicinal plant garden; research on the interactive effects of climate, mycorrhizae, and biodiversity on restored prairie; and a participatory art experience that applies cultural burning in a restored grassland.
Details and registration information coming in May 2025.

I am still waiting for registration information about this workshop, this September. Who can I talk to about this?
Thanks

Thanks for the poke. Our host was just interacting with me and Chris Helzer this week. They have a draft itinerary, meeting place, and are now working to figure out how to register folks.
Thanks for the quick response. If you know now the cost of the workshop, please share. If not, I’ll keep my eye out on that registration.
