Announcing the Northeast Natural History Conference 2012
New Venue! By popular demand and to better serve the entire Northeast Region, NENHC will now be rotated to a new location each year. With the able cooperation of SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, the 2012 conference will be hosted in Syracuse’s OnCenter Convention Center.
3 Full Conference Days! The extra day for presentations will provide for less overlap, permit participants to attend more of the oral sessions, and also allow for the posters to be up for a full day. Workshops and field trips prior to and/or following the main conference days are in the planning stages as well.
Join us for the 12th Northeast Natural History Conference (NENHC). This conference promises again to be the largest regional forum for researchers, natural resource managers, students, and naturalists to present current information on the varied aspects of applied field biology (freshwater, marine, and terrestrial) and natural history for the Northeastern United States and adjacent Canada. It will serve as a premier venue to identify research and management needs, foster friendships and collegial relationships, and encourage a greater region-wide interest in natural history by bringing people with diverse backgrounds together.
