The ESA 89th Annual Meeting will be held in Portland, Oregon, from Sunday, August 1 through noon on Friday, August 6, 2004. The richness of the Lewis and Clark legacy in the ecological sciences of the northwest – and the lessons of their expedition for future government sponsored science – set the meeting’s theme: "Lessons of Lewis & Clark: Ecological Exploration of Inhabited Landscapes." We invite you to attend this exciting program, which we believe will draw more than 3,500 ecological scientists, cutting edge researchers, science policy makers, and leading educators from around the world.
