Detroit Mercy will host the 18th annual Great Lakes Bioneers Detroit Conference on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 12-13 on the McNichols Campus. This year, students, staff, administrators and faculty are invited to attend the environment-centered event for free.
This year’s theme is “Revolution from the Heart of Nature: Take Action in Detroit” and it will be, as always, a platform for community members to network and highlight innovative approaches to environmental and social challenges.
This year’s highlights include 10 tours to community gardens and other environment-related destinations within Detroit along with many “learnshops,” which offer hands-on activities and panels with special guest speakers.
Registration includes bus transportation and lunch for Detroit Mercy students and employees, but is limited due to the size of the venue, so register early.
For others, registration is “pay as you are able,” with a minimum of $10 for adults and $5 for youth. Adult programming is 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day. The youth program runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Visit the Bioneers webpage for registration information. The conference is a Bioneers Pollinator event.
