Conservation Conversation: Greening the Watershed

The Environmental Resources Center’s largest event of the year, the Conservation Conversation will be held on Friday, September 18, 2026, in the Walb Union Classic Ballroom at Purdue University Fort Wayne (NOT the International Ballroom as it has been in years past). This year’s theme is Greening the Watershed, a conversation about Fort Wayne's future.

The Conservation Conversation is a meeting of members of the public, representatives of a variety of organizations and agencies, and faculty, students and staff of Purdue University Fort Wayne. We seek to educate, inform, and facilitate dialogue among local and regional organizations and other stakeholders about the opportunities and challenges for conservation efforts in our growing community. By coming together to share research, experience, and perspectives, participants foster collaboration to promote the best outcomes for the quality of life in our region.
