Celebrate the 23d Toward Harmony with Nature conference with Wild Ones Fox Valley Area. The keynote speaker is David Cordray, owner of Environmental Returns LLC. He will discuss the value of ecological restoration and share a brief summary of his journey to ecological awareness. Cordray’s first career was in the field of environmental-monitoring satellites. He left engineering in 2008 to work in the fledgling field of restoration ecology. Since 2001, he and his wife, Debra, have been actively restoring their 100 acres to prairie and oak savanna.
David’s restoration efforts, professionally and personally, has heightened David’s insight into why we must participate in restoring the health of our lands. He will explore reasons to strive for ecological health, how the work benefits others and how we can influence a greater ecological awareness.
The conference also includes nine break-out sessions by experts on a whole spectrum of topics. Visit with vendors and exhibitors, pick up helpful resource materials and bid on silent auction items. Enjoy mingling with other native plant enthusiasts.
