The lecture series delivers stories from the California conservation community related to science and stewardship of our fish and wildlife. Lecture attendees can expect to learn about the biodiversity of California, natural resource management, scientific research related to wildlife conservation, and how the public can help participate in these activities. Lectures span the marine, terrestrial and aquatic environments, and vary in focus between fish, wildlife, plants and the people involved in conservation.
