Minnesota Native Plant Society A non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and appreciation of Minnesota’s native plants and plant communities through education and public awareness
The 2010 Minnesota Native Plant Society Annual Symposium
was a Great Success!
This year's annual spring symposium took an in depth look at the unique sand dune communities which host many endemic and specialized species and increasingly rare plants.
133 people attended the all-day event featuring the following speakers: Kerry Keen, Walter Loope, Dennis Yockers, Hannah Texler, Rich Biske , Kurt Brownell, Erica Hoaglund, Ellen Fuge and Virginia Blakesley. We would like to thank them for their time, effort and knowledge of this important subject. A highlight of this year's event was a showing of the film Sand Country Wildlife by well know naturalist, Walter Breckenridge.
We also would like to thank our symposium committee that works hard each year to make this great event happen. And as always, a special thank you to the Bell Museum of Natural History who has hosted this event for the Society for many years now.
We look forward to seeing you at next year's symposium!
