SUMMARY:2023 Solar Power and Wildlife/Natural Resources Symposium
DESCRIPTION:2023 Solar Power and Wildlife/Natural Resources Symposium \nNovember 14-16\, 2023 \nNorfolk\, VA (Virtual attendance option available) \nRegistration is now open! \nIt’s estimated that solar power will grow up to five-fold in the next decade.

To learn more about the inaugural Symposium\, held in 2021\, see the Proceedings. \nThe 2023 Symposium will be a hybrid event\, with registrants able to attend in-person or virtually.
