Prairie Conservation and Endangered Species Conference - Second Call for Poster Abstracts

Welcome to the 14th Prairie Conservation and Endangered Species Conference! Being held on May 5-7, 2026, PCESC will bring together individuals from a variety of sectors all working towards prairie conservation for a few packed days of sessions, plenaries and posters. The theme of the conference is “Diversity, Key to Resilience”.

With countless efforts made throughout the Prairie Provinces to conserve our remaining grasslands and prairie species, we are looking forward to learning from researchers, conservation groups, ranchers, First Nations and networking with all of you again!

Held every three years since 1986, this is the premier conference for scientists, landowners, consultants, educators, nature enthusiasts, land managers, and others to share information and new approaches to conservation, agriculture and protection of prairie landscapes and native species.

The Call for Contributed Talks is Now Closed. This page is for submission of late poster abstracts. The call will remain open until all poster slots are full. Make sure to register for the conference here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/prairie-conservation-and-endangered-species-conference
