The Cullowhee Native Plant Conference is pleased to provide the opportunity for all conference participants to share their knowledge and experience with native plants by presenting Posters.  Students are especially encouraged to present posters of their research. Students are also encouraged submit a proposal to make a student presentation during the conference.

Topics for both posters and presentations should center on native plants and their use in the landscape. The following topics are intended to be suggestive rather than exhaustive: ecological restoration and management, botany, conservation horticulture, ecological sustainability, propagation, plant communities, medicinal plants, educational programs, geology and soils, invasive species management, landscape design.
