An enormous THANK YOU also to all the volunteers who served as session moderators, helped set-up and judge the poster session, monitored and pulled compost bags across three venues, and served as field excursion stewards! We couldn’t have done it without their assistance!
To cap it all off, conference participants donated generously during the bucket raffle and silent auction, raising over $2,000 for the Natural Resource Extension Education Foundation and the ANREP professional development travel scholarship fund.
