application of related ecological and social sciences in the Portland,
Ore./Vancouver, Wash. metropolitan region. The day will be packed with a
series of presentations, a poster session, two keynote speakers, raffles,
and plenty of time to visit with colleagues. Join us for a day of sharing,
learning and inspiration.
