6TH WALLER CREEK SYMPOSIUM
~ April 30, 2024 ~
[ 9:00am-1:00pm, Welch Hall Room 2.110 ]
Everyone with an interest in Waller Creek is invited to attend the Waller Creek Symposium! Since 2017, the Symposium has allowed those interested in Waller Creek and urban nature/ecology and urban stream ecology to come together and share ideas, data, and questions.
The main focus of the symposium will be the morning poster session from 9:30-11:30am. We strongly encourage bringing a poster to help foster discussion and the sharing of information, but more importantly come, give feedback, and share your thoughts with others. During lunch, we will have three speakers that are still currently being confirmed.
