The 2024 Conference of the Texas Society for Ecological Restoration will be held November 7-9 in Houston, TX. This annual conference aims to unite diverse stakeholders from across the state to advance the science and practice of ecological restoration, including scientists, practitioners, students, landowners, community partners and policy makers.
We invite submissions for presentations, discussions, and workshops on any topic related to ecological restoration, management or conservation in the state of Texas and across its borders in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mexico.
We especially encourage submissions related to the conference theme, Restoration Everywhere: Working from Urban to Rural Landscapes. Projects that span an urban to rural gradient, address challenges or opportunities associated with working on restoration in an urban/suburban context, or those focused on the urban-wildland interface are especially encouraged, as are talks that focus on the benefits, best practices, or challenges of engaging the broader community in ecological restoration activities.
