Conference and SymposiumsThe Conservation System Alliance holds regular conferences and symposiums to raise awareness of advanced research occurring on Conservation System lands every day.Conferences and symposiums in the last 5 years have focused on diverse subjects, from the Antiquities Act to taking advantage of scientific resources on BLM lands. Information about upcoming conferences will be posted on www.conservationsystem.org. Congressional EducationMembers of the Conservation System Alliance work to educate Members of Congress and their staff about the unique resources and management challenges of the BLM's Conservation System. Whether it means meeting with Congressional staff in Washington, DC, or exploring management issues in person, members of the Conservation System Alliance educate Congress about the need to provide the Bureau of Land Management with adequate resources to serve as good stewards for some of the most special places in America.The NLCS CaucusAs part of the mission of the Conservation System Alliance to raise the profile of the BLM's Conservation System, we work extensively with the NLCS Congressional Caucus.
