Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the portion of the year when our vitamin D levels are hitting ‘optimum level’! Are you feeling that post-vaccination nervous excitement as you begin to plan out your fall professional learning plans? We’ve included some great opportunities below for your to consider.
WSU’s Patricia Townsend is representing the Cougs at combined National Extension Energy Summit & National Sustainability Summit being held at Penn State University. You can learn more about the call for proposals here.
The virtual National Urban Extension Summit will be held this week (May 19-20). I look forward to ‘seeing’ you there! Ping me if there’s anything you pick up during the summit that you’d like to discuss! Until next time, be well, sign up for and get your vaccine (now that we’re all eligible), wear face coverings when appropriate, and wash your hands.

International Urban Wildlife Conference |
The International Urban Wildlife Conference is going VIRTUAL! This conference will create an interactive forum for urban planners, researchers, city and county staff, students, educators, biologists, and ecologists of all backgrounds from across the globe to highlight research, case studies, policy initiatives, thought exercises, and discussions related to wildlife and natural resources in urban environments. The theme for this year’s conference is Changing Narratives. In today’s fast-changing world, we are faced with new challenges daily, now more than ever before. Because the conference is international and virtual, we are accommodating different time zones by providing an exciting mix of recorded presentations that you can view when it’s convenient for you, beginning May 18, 2021, and live events that will incorporate presentation topics with dynamic discussion and Q&A from May 25 – 27, 2021.
