The WPPC’s annual Natural Landscaping Seminar will be Saturday, February 22, 2025.

Save the date!  Our annual Natural Landscaping Seminar will be held at McHenry County College on Saturday, February 22, 2025.  Our line-up is complete and the Schedule of Events is ready to view.  We have some wonderful presentations lined up including Kim Eierman who is the nationally-known author of The Pollinator Victory Garden.  Kim will discuss plant selection for pollinator gardens.  Other speakers include Negin Almassi from the Forest Preserves of Cook County who will talk about the urban ecology of coyotes, Dr. Greg Spyreas from the Illinois Natural History Survey who will present on the history of fire in the native habitats of Illinois and Ed Collins who just retired from the Conservation District and will talk about the conservation movement in McHenry County.

We’ve held prices at the same level as last year, so the cost will be a very reasonable $45 for online registration and $50 to register at the door.  The price includes access to all four presentations, vendor booths from local conservation organizations, book sale table and our famous buffet lunch.  Online registration will open after the first of the year and will close on February 17, 2025.  We’re looking forward to seeing all of you on February 22!
