NECA hosts an annual series of interesting and topical meetings where members can keep up-to-date on the latest developments in conservation, enjoy refreshments with friends and colleagues, and see behind the scenes in area labs and studios.
NECA also spreads the word about conservation-related events in the New England area not organized by our group. If you have an event or employment posting that you would like to appear on our website, email us at necaconservation@gmail.com.
