Biodiversity from the Ground Up | Prairie Enthusiasts’ 2026 virtual conference

Our annual virtual conference brings together people of various prairie and savanna knowledge-levels. Whether you have deep roots in prairie restoration or your passion for these habitats has just begun to bloom, there’s a place for you to learn with our community.

Our 2026 annual virtual conference, Biodiversity from the Ground Up, features two days of concurrent sessions and one day dedicated to our Burn School. Explore multiple sessions through our Introductory, Research and Creative Tracks and keynote presentations Sea of Grass / Can We Rescue America’s Greatest Landscape? by Dave Hage and Josephine Marcotty and Scientific & Theoretical Lessons from Mycology by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian.

Special sessions this year include a Land Management Panel made up of longtime Prairie Enthusiasts, biodiversity trivia where you can flex your knowledge, Chapter Coffee Chats where you can connect with other nature lovers and more!

Anyone who registers will have access to recorded presentations for up to three months after our conference ends.
