Gather with colleagues from across the state to network, learn, and celebrate our hard work. We will be meeting at the Riverside Convention Center and staying at the historic Mission Inn. Both are located in downtown Riverside, steps away from restaurants and entertainment. Add to your conference with Tuesday training sessions or Friday field trips to explore invasive plant management projects and restoration efforts in the region.
