$15 Registration Fee. Lunch available for additional cost.

The Ohio Botanical Symposium was first presented by the Ohio Division of
Natural Areas & Preserves (DNAP) in 2001 to inform interested botanists
about Ohio's Natural Heritage Program. 
Since then, the symposium has diversified to include a range of topics on
Ohio's native flora. The symposium brings together people who are interested
in Ohio's native plants and natural history to hear speakers on botanical
topics. 
The upcoming symposium has another slate of interesting speakers and topics.
This year's topics include best plant finds of 2007, xeric limestone
prairies, mosses, pollinators, and the Oak Openings region. 
Mike Homoya, Indiana state botanist and author of Orchids of Indiana, will
give our keynote address. He will discuss the many fascinating orchids that
occur in Ohio and adjacent states. 
There will be vendors present as well as exhibits from the Division of
Natural Areas and Preserves, The Nature Conservancy, Division of Forestry,
Flora-Quest, National Wildlife Federation, Northeastern Ohio Native Plant
Society, Pike County Farm, Simple Living, Black Swamp Conservancy and
others. 
We hope you will join us on March 19!
