Posters
The NCB symposium planning committee invites you to bring a poster to share your work and knowledge of the biology, ecology, conservation, or management of our Northern California plant life with others. Please forward this invitation to botanists and others with related interests from Northern California agencies, conservation organizations, consulting firms and academia. This will be a great opportunity for continuing education and networking.
For the 2025 Symposium, Tuesday morning’s first session has been specially set aside as a dedicated, scheduled poster session.
Space is limited to 40 posters. See below for more information.
