Arbor Day Foundation Seeks Presenters for Upcoming Conference

The National Arbor Day Foundation is seeking presenters for its national conference, Building for Greener Communities, which will be held Sept. 19-21 in Nebraska City, Neb. The deadline for submitting a presentation proposal is March 23.

The conference will address a wide range of issues relating to preserving, protecting, enhancing and managing natural and man-made environments.

The National Arbor Day Foundation is seeking proposals that will focus on the process and techniques of retaining trees and other natural features during construction and land development. Possible topics might include infill development, conservation development, watershed protection, preventing wildfire, zeriscaping, green building, energy conservation and efficient land use.

Presentations will range in duration from 30 to 60 minutes. The foundation is particularly interested in presentations that include an audio-visual element and that engage and interact with the audience.

For more information about submitting a presentation, e-mail Steve Pearson, manager of conference and seminars for the foundation, or call him at 402-474-5655.
