Below are some notices for wonderfully diverse 2009 and 2010 trainings! Most events will be taking place in R8 (southern California, Clark Co. Nevada and Arizona), with a few just outside our area. Also some national and international conferences/workshops may be scheduled elsewhere.

As you see, these postings have been restricted to trainings and conferences for interpretive professionals and volunteers (historic, natural history, museums, recreation, leisure related), not notices of public events, University classses, birding festivals, or the like.
