NPSOT – 2024 Fall Symposium
October 11 - October 12
$50 – $350NPSOT
The 2024 NPSOT Fall Symposium Committee invites you to join NPSOT members from across Texas for three days of camaraderie, learning and sharing about native plants. To be held from the 10th to 12th of October in New Braunfels, the full schedule will include 20 insightful presentations, a choice of local guided field trips, the Annual State Meeting of Members, evening event options, our Annual Awards Banquet and much more.
Building on a historical perspective, we will explore how the ecology of Texas has changed since European settlers arrived three centuries ago. Several plenary speakers will examine the challenges caused by rapid population growth in our region as well as recent climate change and drought conditions. But most importantly, numerous speakers will offer solutions on how communities and individuals can conserve natural areas, increase the resilience of our existing plant communities, improve wildlife habitat, and restore soil health.
The New Braunfels Civic Convention Center will serve as the symposium headquarters with NPSOT group-rate lodging available at The Resort at Schlitterbahn and other area hotels. Attendees can participate in our silent auction and visit vendor, exhibitor, and sponsor displays at the Civic Center. In addition, a list of suggested self-guided field trips will be available for those traveling on Thursday and Sunday. This hybrid event includes registration options for in-person and virtual attendance, with in-person Society member and scholastic discounts. Please explore the Symposium Details here
