Living Landscapes: Tree & Shrub Symposium
Paid Event Public Welcome Registration Required Conference/Symposium Wheelchair Accessible Public Restroom Free Public Parking Drinking Fountains
Join us on an exhilarating journey to discover our local native trees and shrubs to be held at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens. These vital plants in our ecosystems play a multifaceted role, providing structure, biodiversity, regulating processes, and supporting a diverse array of species. The health and stability of these ecosystems are intrinsically linked to the presence and functioning of trees and shrubs. These magnificent plants play a crucial role in supporting various forms of life. Pollinators, birds, and a diverse array of wildlife rely on these plants for sustenance and shelter. They provide essential food sources such as caterpillars for birds, nuts, seeds, and fruits, as well as habitats and shelter for pollinators, insects, birds, and mammals. Without them, many species would face the brink of extinction. Presenters: Jim McCormac, Brian Jorg, Sam Settlemyre, Tom Borgman, Greg Torres. $95 registration fee includes a zoo pass for the day, free parking at the zoo, and a sit-down buffet lunch. Join us!
