Whitney and Anna Harris Conservation Forum

About this event

This year’s theme is Bringing Them Back: Successes and Challenges in Species Reintroduction featuring Dr. John Bender, Dr. Laura Toro, and Justin Elden. You can read more about each of our speakers on our website .

As in past years, the forum will offer a unique opportunity for the public to engage with leading experts in conservation and discuss critical environmental challenges affecting our communities. Attendees will also have the opportunity to interact with local conservation organizations and view poster presentations given by Harris Center graduate students. Plus, dinner is included with registration !

This event is completely free to the public, made possible by the vision of Whitney and Anna Harris, who believed in the importance of connecting the public and students with cutting-edge conservation knowledge. Our long-standing partnerships with the Saint Louis Zoo and Missouri Botanical Garden further enrich the forum’s impact.
