What will you learn?

As our natural resources and native habitats dwindle, and the last of our
available open spaces become developed, it is incumbent upon landowners,
businesses, municipalities, and the public to collectively provide both the
stewardship and the habitat that local native fauna require to improve
biodiversity, support local wildlife populations, and keep the native
ecosystems upon which we depend healthy and thriving. The production and
incorporation of ecotypic (genetically) native plants into our regional
landscape requires dedication to this progressive effort and many
partners.  The 4th LINPI Native Plant Symposium, “Flora for Fauna” brings
together top plant, restoration, and wildlife professionals to share their
vision, leadership and expertise at this one day educational event, to
encourage the use and stimulate a commercial supply of ecotypic flora for
the benefit of regional fauna.
