Announcing the 2027 Northeast Natural History Conference

... back in Albany!!

We were very impressed with how well the new Albany Capital Center facilities suited the NENHC in 2022 and 2024 and found the staff and food to be first rate, plus we heard lots of positive comments from attendees about the venue. Thus, we are excited to once again bring the meeting there for 2027. Plus, they have recently completed an impressive new expansion to the facility, promising to make it an even better experience.

You won't want to miss the Northeast's 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. Every year, we receive affirmative feedback about how friendly, collegial, and enjoyable the conference is and how it is especially welcoming of and valuable to students.

To help encourage a particularly engaging conference program and in recognition of the effort that goes into soliciting speakers and putting together a cohesive, informative session, this year we again will be offering a rebate of 50% off the conference registration fee to those who propose a session and successfully recruit presentations to fill it.

Call for Judges for Student Poster Presentation Awards We are again looking for volunteer judges to decide recipients for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards, with cash prizes of $300, $200, and $100, respectively, in each category.
