Conservation Conversation

The Escondido Creek Conservancy’s Conservation Conversation lecture series is a quarterly event connecting the community with experts in environmental science, conservation, and local ecology. Held on the third Thursday of January, April, July, and October from 6:00 – 7:00 PM at the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve’s Interpretive Center, these talks feature guest speakers—including scientists, naturalists, and conservation leaders—who share insights on habitat restoration, wildlife conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable land management. Each lecture provides attendees the opportunity to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of environmental issues.

Space is limited, and attendees must sign up through the Conservancy's Eventbrite to reserve a free spot. Whether you're a student, educator, or nature enthusiast, Conservation Conversation offers an inspiring way to stay informed about conservation efforts.
