Swan Conferences have presentations and field trips which typically showcase local swan habitat or swan issues.
A selection of TTSS Swan Conference Proceedings and Abstracts
Approximately every three 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 wildlife professionals, natural resource agency managers, land trusts and volunteers, researchers, captive propagators and the general public who want to learn more about Trumpeter Swans and have the most up-to-date information about swan issues, challenges and successes.
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.
