Mott's Run Reservoir, the site of several of this year's conference field trips and just a few miles away from the Fredericksburg Expo and Conference Center.
All enrolled Virginia Master Naturalist volunteers are invited to register now to join us at the Fredericksburg Expo and Conference Center in Fredericksburg, Virginia for our 9th Virginia Master Naturalist Statewide Volunteer Conference and Training. This year's conference is hosted by the Central Rappahannock chapter.
This event is an opportunity for VMN volunteers to share ideas and learn from each other, to participate in high-quality continuing education sessions, and to learn about a region of Virginia that may be different from their home communities. It's a time and place to recognize and reward volunteers and chapters for all their efforts.
Our chapter hosts have done a wonderful job of choosing programming they think you will enjoy. We will have many and varied concurrent sessions on Saturday and Sunday. There will also be opportunities for pre-conference field trips on Friday and field trips on both Saturday and Sunday as part of the conference.
As of August 1, 183 people are registered for the conference, but about two-thirds of the sessions, including some field trips, still have space available. If a session is full, don't hesitate to sign up for the waiting list. We are frequently able to accommodate people from the waitlists closer to the conference date. All but one of the five Sunday field trips are still available, so the Full Conference registration option will give you the most choices for field opportunities.
Early bird registration ends August 6! Regular conference registration continues through August 20.
