UERC Portland

The date for the 2010 Urban Ecology & Conservation Symposium is set. The Ballroom at Portland State University will again be the venue, with the space extended to accomodate the increasing participation in the symposium.

On an approximately monthly basis, UERC hosts brown bag talks. The speakers and topics are selections from the symposium that occurred at the beginning of the year. Most topics were identified by symposium attendees as being of great interest for the more in-depth format that is possible in the brown bag series. All talks are free of charge.

For more information, please visit the pages on upcoming brown bag talks. Abstracts from past talks are also available.

The UERC is a consortium of people from various educational institutions, state and federal agencies, local governments, non-profit organizations and businesses, as well as independent professionals and students, interested in supporting urban ecosystem research and creating an information sharing network of people that collect and use ecological data in the Portland/Vancouver area.
