Join Audubon for a gathering of environmental advocates from around the state, as we explore the many ways we can advocate for birds and the places they need to survive. We know that birds are at risk from the impacts of climate change, development, and other looming threats. Over the course of this summit, we will learn from Pennsylvania's environmental champions, share opportunities for advocacy, and build community around the urgent needs of birds and people who call Pennsylvania home.

This will be an opportunity to:

• Learn from state conservation and policy leaders including Evan Endres, Nature Conservancy’s Pennsylvania Director of Government Relations and Policy, and David Masur, PennEnvironment Executive Director;
• Discuss how Pennsylvania factors into federal policy impacts with Audubon Senior Director of Climate Policy Jesse Walls of Audubon and National Parks Conservation Association Senior Program Manager Rebecca Reber;
• Network with Audubon Mid-Atlantic, Audubon chapters, the Pennsylvania Audubon Council, and members from across the state; and
• Strategize for current and future legislative sessions.

Friday morning will include an optional field trip, led by a team of Audubon's forestry and conservation experts.

The registration fee for both days is $125 and includes all conference sessions and Friday field trip, Friday group dinner, Saturday breakfast and lunch, and coffee and snacks on both days. Attendees will be responsible for booking their hotel rooms. A link to book rooms at a discounted rate will be available in the confirmation email you will receive after registration. Attendees are responsible for booking their hotel rooms.
