Wildflower Conference and Educators Workshop

The WAM (Wildflower Association of Michigan-not part of The Nature Conservancy) will hold a conference on the MSU campus in East Lansing on March 4 and 5. Both days start with bagels and coffee and have an optional luncheon with speaker. March 4 is the Educator's Workshop with discussions on topics such as raising funds, school site development, native plant gardening, and invasive plant control. The day concludes with the WAM annual meeting and birthday bash. Topics on March 5 include native landscapes, Environmental Effects of Invasive Species, Monarchs and Milkweeds, "Gardening with Native Plants to Attract Birds" and "Michigan Trees and Shrubs for Homeowners". Let me know if you are interested and I can send you the full agenda and a registration form. The registration fee gets higher as the start date approaches.
