Natural Landscape Seminar: The WPPC’s annual Natural Landscape Seminar will be held on Saturday, February 18, 2023 in the Luecht Auditorium at McHenry County College. The pre-registration period is now over, but you may still register at the door starting at 8am on February 18. We’ve confirmed some great speakers this year as we work to restore the seminar after a three year hiatus. The presenters include a nationally-known, award-winning author, a restoration ecologist and the creator of a TikTok channel on foraging. Our final presentation will look at the first ten years of Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge and where it’s going in the future. We hope you’ll take a break from the winter weather and come hear some wonderful presentations on native plants, habitats and the critters they attract. We’ve kept the early-bird pricing at a very reasonable $40 ($50 at the door), which includes all four presentations and access to our vendors, book table and famous buffet lunch. For those who wish to follow Covid protocols, there will be a section where extra distancing and masks are required. See the seminar page for more details and the schedule of events.
