The Bayou Preservation Association’s 17th Annual Symposium will go online this year. It will run from 8:00 AM until noon on October 1 and 2. And, yes, there will be a couple of 5-minute “Bio Breaks” each morning to give you a chance to stretch your legs.
The price for a ticket that covers both days of the event is $20. Based on the extremely high quality of previous symposia, this is a real bargain. Some of the presenters are listed below. You can learn more and register for the event at https://www.bayoupreservation.org/News-Events/Events/2020-Annual-Symposium.
"Explore the broad interconnectivity of diverse landscapes, wildlife, recreational uses, and communities that our bayous support and how critical our waterways are to enriching our region’s future growth."
