This annual conference was attended by more than 150 county roadside vegetation managers, DOT employees, exhibitors, conservationists from federal, state, county, and city agencies, nonprofit organizations and landowners. The evening keynote speaker was Dr. Doug Tallamy, an entomology and ecology professor at the University of Delaware, and award winning author, researcher, and communicator.
