*REMINDER: ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 15!* *Wisconsin** Wetlands Association’s 16th Annual Wetlands Conference*
*Wetlands in the Landscape* *February 16-17, 2011* *Baraboo**, WI*** Conference website: www.wisconsinwetlands.org/2011conference.htm In February, 2011, Wisconsin Wetlands Association will convene members of the regional wetland community for our 16th Annual Wetland Conference to discuss the latest in wetland science, management, restoration, and protection issues. The program for this 2-day conference will have a special focus on the theme *Wetlands in the Landscape*. Highlights include: · national Symposium, *Wetland Buffers: Theory, Science, Policy, and Implementation* with keynote by *Dr. Lenore Fahrig*; · topical oral sessions; · banquet with presentation by author and ecologist *Carl Safina*; · poster session; · working groups; · wetland field trips to Baraboo-area wetlands *Wisconsin Wetlands Association invites you to submit an abstract for presentation at our 16th Annual Wetland Conference*. We seek proposals for oral presentations or posters on wetlands research, restoration, and management projects. We welcome presentations on work done in all wetland community types and from around the Midwest region, as long as the content of the presentation applies to wetlands of Wisconsin. *We especially encourage submissions on these topics related to the theme, Wetlands in the Landscape. Abstract submissions that speak directly to the theme will be given priority in the review process*, but we will also consider presentations on general aspects of wetland ecology and management. All abstract-related inquiries should be directed to Katie Beilfuss: (608) 250-9971 or [email protected]. Oral presentations will be organized into sessions with 20 minutes allotted to each speaker (15 minute presentation, 5 minutes questions). We will provide a forum for as many presentations as possible given our schedule and space constraints. However, considering the volume of abstract submissions in recent years, we cannot guarantee acceptance. We will have poster space (4’H x 6’W per poster) for authors who would prefer to share their work in this format or in cases where a poster is a more appropriate medium for the presentation. *Please note that presentations in the Wetland Buffers Symposium are by invitation only*. We are accepting abstracts for presentations related to buffers for the general sessions. * * *Abstract Submission Forms are available online at: ** www.wisconsinwetlands.org/2011CFP.htm*<http://www.wisconsinwetlands.org/2011CFP.htm>, where you can also find information about how to submit your abstract.
