Report on the Field Conference
The 92nd NYSGA Field Conference was held Friday-Saturday, Sept 25-26, 2021. More than 60 people attended 6 different field trips over the two days. Due to Covid restrictions there was no Annual Meeting gathering of all attendees. Find a list of guided field trips below.
The hope for year 2022 is to return to a more typical NYSGA Field Conference to be hosted by SUNY Oswego. For more information regarding the 2022 conference please contact Dr. Nick DiFrancesco (nicholas.difrancesco@oswego.edu).
