The Stewardship Network Conference

The Stewardship Network Conference 2021

The Stewardship Network Conference is where theory meets practice and curiosity leads to solutions. Each year, hundreds of professionals, students, and volunteers from an array of environmental fields gather to share their setbacks and successes; technological advancements and analytical techniques; diverse perspectives and artistic expressions as we collectively find the best ways to care for our land and water. The Stewardship Network provides the structure, space, and catalytic resources for meaningful collaboration that benefits our natural world. This interdisciplinary conference harnesses the power of the network to build bridges between knowledge, culture, and community in order to support the ecosystems around us that are continually threatened and changing. Sessions include topics such as prescribed fire, climate change mitigation and resilience, invasive species controls, community engagement, and essential skill development. The Stewardship Network Conference prides itself on cultivating a welcoming and accepting atmosphere. Come as you are and be ready to explore new thoughts and perspectives. Whether you’re new to the environmental field or seasoned veteran, there’s something for everyone at our Network’s annual gathering! 

After much consideration, The Stewardship Network’s conference planning committee has decided that it is best to shift our 2021 conference to an online platform. While we will sorely miss the opportunity to connect with all of you in person as we have for the past 13 years, we are excited about the opportunities that this new format will enable.  With this in mind, we are extending the abstract submission period. 

The new submission deadline is Tuesday, June 30th. 

This provides potential presenters and attendees the chance to evaluate their decision based on this new set of circumstances. We will provide updates on format, programming, and additional details as our planning progresses, and we encourage you to share your thoughts, questions, and suggestions with us by sending an email to conference@stewardshipnetwork.org.
