Nature Center Summit
The DNR's one day workshop, the Nature Center Summit, is held each winter to inform non-formal educators at nature centers, zoos, aquaria, conservation districts, and more. With a cohort of scientists and experts in the field, each session conveys the latest science and trends. Educators can then apply this new content to their programs and curricula.
Past topics have included: Michigan's wolves and bears, lake sturgeon restoration efforts, invasive species management, nuisance wildlife, arctic grayling reintroduction efforts, cormorant controls, cougars, Great Lakes ecology and much more.
Look for registration details for the 2023 Nature Center Summit in December.
