    The Annual Santa Barbara Botanic Garden Conservation Symposium, established in 2012, is designed to address conservation topics that are critical in our region and beyond. This year’s keynote speaker is Pritzlaff Conservation Awardee, Dr. Carla D’Antonio.  Join us on March 5, 2022, from 10 am to 2:30 pm for the 9th Annual Conservation Symposium, After the Fires: Recovering California’s Wild Spaces. We will explore how to help western wildlands recover after fire and hear from seven other regional experts on fire ecology, rare species recovery, weed control and other habitat restoration work, followed by an engaging panel discussion.
