"Migration in the Mountains" is ECO-FRIENDLY
No single-use plastic water bottles at this event! Diamond Brand Outdoors is generously donating sturdy, reusable Nalgene water bottles for all registrants. Each water bottle has a bird on it!

We’ll minimize paper at this event, too – once you register, you’ll get an email confirmation with your schedule including the field trips you selected. We’ll send your personalized schedule to you again a few days before the meeting so you can save it on your phone, or print it if you prefer. To reduce the Summit’s environmental impact, we won’t provide printed personalized schedules at the event. 

The Crowne Plaza Resort serves Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee. 


That's it! All that is left to do is join us this September 7 - 9 in Asheville. Can't wait to see you there!
