Conference participation has many benefits, such as meeting the region’s leading ecological restoration practitioners and connecting your coursework and research to real-world efforts to restore systems in the Northwest, Great Basin, and beyond.

Volunteers will receive registration waivers as follows:
Volunteer for 9 hours: attend 3 days of conference
Volunteer for 6 hours: attend 2 days of conference
Volunteer for 3 hours: attend 1 day of conference
Volunteer for a Friday field trip: attend field trip for free
