1995 Midwest Oak Savanna and Woodland Ecosystems Conferences -
Springfield, Missouri
WELCOME!
Dear Colleague:
Welcome to the 1995 Midwest Oak Savanna and Woodland Ecosystems
Conference.
Missouri is well known for its many large surviving oak
savannas and woodlands, and this is your opportunity to visit our
very best. It is also your chance to learn about research and
management across the midwest; from Oklahoma's cross timbers north
to Minnesota, east into Indiana and Ohio and as far south as
Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama. Wildlife, soils, endangered
species, monitoring, classification, and restoration -- it's all
covered at our conference.
Our conference will feature presentation of the newly completed
Midwest Oak Ecosystems Recovery Plan. This Plan represents three
years of successful interstate cooperation among public agencies,
non-governmental organizations, and academic and research
institutions to reach a scientifically based consensus on the
needs of oak savannas and woodlands. We also have a presentation
on Endangered Ecosystems and Recovery by internationally
recognized conservation biologist Reed Noss. We are proud of the
work we are doing and are glad you could join us in the beautiful
Ozark mountains.
