The members of the planning team for the Patuxent River Conference are excited to announce that registration is now open for PAXCON 2017 which will take place Wednesday, December 6, 2017 at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater, MD. 

The theme of this year’s conference is River Management Stories: Making the leap from information to application. With a schedule that includes in-depth science presentations, panel sessions, and roundtable discussions all framed around a main strand- invasive species management, living shorelines, stormwater best management practices and stream restoration the conference committee hopes participants will leave the conference with knowledge, tools, and a network of colleagues to make informed management decisions to improve the health of the Patuxent River.

Register today!  Early bird registration of $30 ends November 6th.
