Plant “keys” are one of the best ways to identify and learn plant species,
but they can be tricky to use. Practice using a key to identify the many
vines at Trinity River Audubon Center, then go into the field to practice
tree identification with a plant key.

This program is free, but RSVP’s are required; please contact Dana Wilson,
dwilson@audubon.org or 214-309-5850.

Our goals for our 44th Annual Conference are three-fold: we want to celebrate and recognize the achievements of youth and community leaders (of all ages), civic groups, businesses and governments; offer an array
of educational sessions to relay pertinent, innovative approaches to
community beautification, waste reduction and litter prevention; and
provide unparalleled networking opportunities and exciting presentations
from knowledgeable experts and those with a passion for the
environment.

We are actively planning for the 2011 conference, which is scheduled June 20-23, 2011 and will once again be held at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center in Austin. Keep this page bookmarked, and remember to check back periodically for more information!
