This year's theme is "Growing Resilience," featuring virtual presentations and roundtable discussions regarding the resilience of southeastern native plants. The conference will also incorporate observation sessions of Alabama's native plant species on-site.

On-site, small group field trips will be available to supplement the virtual program with opportunities for in-person observation and study of Alabama's native plant species with local experts.
