TTSS Swan Conferences Index & Abstracts
A selection of TTSS Swan Conference summaries
Approximately every two years, we hold a conference somewhere in North America, usually in an important Trumpeter Swan breeding or wintering area, in the appropriate season for the chosen site.
Participants include Trumpeter Swan managers, restoration workers, researchers, captive propagators and private citizens who are concerned about Trumpeter Swan restoration.
Collectively, the published papers from these conferences contain an unsurpassed scientific and historical record of the recovery of Trumpeter Swans in the U.S. and Canada, its current status, and management concerns and strategies, told by the many people who were directly involved.
Bound issues of past Conference Proceedings may be obtained by mail for $18 US each, including shipping. Please examine the Index of published papers and see the wealth of detailed information that exists. Please e-mail to verify availability of specific volumes before ordering.
