The aim of the speaker series is to share expertise, and connect land managers, scientists, educators, community members, and conservation professionals around a common goal for ecological and recreational sustainability of the Valley's mountain park preserve system. These brown bag lunch-style presentations will occur at variety of locations across the Valley accessible to Conservation Alliance partners and the community. Typically, a given session will have two presenters, each giving a primer of his/her topic with supporting documentation to be made available afterward to those who desire more information.

A light lunch will be provided courtesy of the Conservation Alliance. Please RSVP to: sbeute@dbg.org
