 Meet our keynote speaker:
Doug Tallamy is Professor and Chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware, where he has authored 69 research articles and has taught Insect Taxonomy, Behavioral Ecology, and other courses for 28 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His book "Bringing Nature Home; How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens" was published by Timber Press in 2007 and was awarded the 2008 silver medal by the Garden Writer’s Association.
Ohio Botanical Symposium
The Ohio Botanical Symposium was first held in 2001 by the Ohio Division of Natural Areas and Preserves to bring botanists, naturalists, and nature enthusiasts together to network, provide professional enrichment and view posters and displays on Ohio’s native flora, natural areas and rare plants. The Nature Conservancy joined as a co-sponsor of the symposium in 2003, the Ohio State University Herbarium in 2006 and The Cleveland Museum of Natural History in 2009.
 In addition to at least six presentations, attendees have a chance to visit with exhibitors and vendors. Exhibitors include non-profit environmental and conservation groups, park districts, federal and state agencies, and universities.
In the past, vendors have included book sellers, nature craftsmen and nature education/lodging. The symposium has attracted leading experts in the fields of botany and conservation including Jim Amon Ph. D., Jim Bissell Ph. D, Fred Case, Allison Cusick, W. Hardy Eshbaugh Ph. D., Michael Homoya, Anton Reznicek Ph. D., and Ed Voss Ph. D.
Last year, over 400 people joined us at our new venue, Villa Milano. We look forward to meeting you at the 2010 Ohio Botanical Symposium.
