Are you interested in heritage planning, conservation, environmental stewardship, or a career in the environmental sector?  Students are invited to attend Conservation in Heritage, a free professional development event hosted by the Latornell Conservation Symposium Professional Development Program.

This event is designed for students and early-career professionals interested in learning more about careers and current practice in conservation and heritage planning. Free registration | Lunch provided

Participants will have the opportunity to:

  • Hear from professionals working in heritage planning and conservation
  • Take part in a guided tour of a heritage conservation district in Guelph
  • Connect and network with mid- and senior-level professionals from conservation organizations
  • Learn about different career pathways and receive practical career advice
  • Meet other students and emerging professionals with similar interests

This is a great opportunity to gain exposure to professional practice, make connections within the conservation sector, and learn more about how heritage, planning, and environmental conservation intersect.

We hope to see you there!
