Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be offered for landscape architects and certified crop advisors.   The biennial Eastern Native Grasslands Symposium is sustained by the expanding interests and cooperation of a diverse spectrum of people involved with native grasses, forbs, and wetland plants of the eastern United States.

We are now seeking session proposals from presenters and speakers.  We are requesting presentations from industry leaders, knowledgeable professionals, and inspired students. The request for presentations is open through May 15th . See the full RFP here.
