As is typical of my attendance at a conference, any conference, I diligently took notes and uploaded them as google documents. I took notes, started this blog entry and then flaked off or something. I need to be a bit more consistent to build a following. If anyone who attended the conference is interested in my notes I'll post a list of the sessions I attended and links to the google docs. I am also thinking about creating a google survey linking to a spreadsheet for our fall clean up wrap up reports (test a theory that if it is online more people will actually do it and do it in a timely manner). The quality of the presentations was good at the conference. Everyone was friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about their topics! The book mentioned the most at the conference was "Last Child in the Woods." I recommend it because it is a good read and makes some great points about what our children missing by not being outdoors exploring their environment. If we could get children away from electronics, get families out camping and hiking together AND change their eating habits it would certainly improve their quality of life and life expectancy!
