Every other year the TCWS conducts a 2 day symposium for members to share research, review status and trends from the annual coastal colony census, and discuss ways to advance waterbird conservation in Texas. 

​

The 2019 meeting will be held near Austin, TX from November 19-20 at LCRA McKinney Rough Nature Park. The symposium will include updates from partners across the coast, the Society business meeting, research presentations, and a poster session.

 

This year we are asking for a $30 registration fee to help cover costs. There will also be a banquet on the evening of November 19th for an additional $20 fee.
