Chicago Wilderness Congress 2012:
Shaping the Future of Regional Conservation

University of Illinois at Chicago | The Forum

More than 650 professionals, volunteers, students, business leaders and foundation representatives attended the November 2012 Congress; one of our most successful such events to date. Congress again demonstrated that our biennial forum is the foremost venue for professionals and others to come together to identify opportunities for collaboration, build new partnerships, and make connections to secure a thriving and healthy Chicago Wilderness for both people and nature. 

Chicago Wilderness is grateful to the participants, volunteers, exhibitors and sponsors who made the 2012 Congress such a productive and memorable event. View photos from the 2012 Congress here and watch a video of keynote speaker Juan Martinez, Director of Leadership Development at Children & Nature Network.

The next Congress will be held in the spring of 2014. Stayed tuned for more information, and we’ll see you then!
