MSAE At Wild Things 2025
We are excited to table at the Wild Things conference once again this year! Catch our board president, Eric Leonardson at table #38. A map of the conference can be found here: https://wildthings2025.sched.com/venue-map
The Wild Things conference is a celebration of nature, wildlife, ecosystem restoration, birding, botanizing, networking and discovery – from the lowly mushroom to the high-flying falcon. The conservation community comes together to learn from each other and the best experts to enjoy a day jam-packed with handpicked panels that run the spectrum in causes, complexity, and creativity. Spend a day with other people who care for the ecosystems of Illinois, and the planet, and find ways to help. We are stewards, advocates, and educators – volunteers and professionals – coming together with urgent hope to appreciate and protect prairies, woodlands, wetlands, wild yards, and wilder hearts.
This high-spirited biennial conference is the largest conservation gathering we know, regularly drawing nearly 2,000 attendees for the single-day event. The 2025 Conference will take place on Saturday, March 1. Join us!
Wild Things is an educational program of Friends of Illinois Nature Preserves.
