This conference was designed for and by the California Naturalist community, but everyone was welcome to attend (Pre-conference press release here).
The biennial UC California Naturalist Conference provided a forum for presenting and discussing new research and developments in natural history, stewardship, citizen science, global change, environmental education, and interpretation for addressing California's environmental challenges. Together we celebrated California State Park's 150th year of providing inspiration and education for the people of California, all in the heart of beautiful Asilomar State Park!
