About this Event
The Alabama and Georgia Chapters of The Wildlife Society are excited to host the 2026 Joint Annual Meeting in Phenix City, AL! This year’s theme, “Shared Science, Shared Landscapes: Advancing Conservation in Georgia and Alabama,” highlights the value of working together across state lines to address conservation issues. Over the course of two days, we’ll exchange ideas, share research, and build partnerships that strengthen both our profession and the natural resources we care for. Together, we are “Connected in Conservation.”
