Call For Posters
This year’s theme:
Plant Diversity and Viability in Uncertain Times
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 2024 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.
