Back by popular demand!  Participants in the March 2010 tri-national symposium organized by representatives from the Tohono O'odham Nation, Mexico, and the United States recommended that this remarkable gathering should happen every two years.

The March 2012 tri-national symposium will address successes and continuing challenges of conserving the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. The symposium will focus on cultural and natural resource issues .

A variety of special field trips are being planned for Monday March 19th and Friday March 23rd.  On Tuesday through Thursday, we are scheudling plenary sessions, a rich choice of breakout sessions, and ample networking time.  Wednesday afternoon will feature field trips to several sites in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and a barbecue dinner at Organ Pipe's Pinkley Peak.

So, save these dates!  AND if you are interested in presenting, be sure to submit an abstract as soon as possible.
