Please join us for the 2026 Gathering Partners conference, held on the beautiful campus of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN!
May 15-17, 2026
Our theme this year centers on "Naturalist Skills" and we have planned a schedule brimming with sessions, speakers, outings and activities that will help you fill your proverbial field bag with skills you can use while exploring, teaching and conserving the natural resources of our state and beyond.
Who should attend: Any adult interested in learning about nature and connecting with others who share this interest should plan to attend the conference. If you are a Minnesota Master Naturalist, Aquatic Invasive Species Detector, Woodland Steward, Pollinator Ambassador, participatory scientist, birder, angler, hunter, property owner/manager, outdoor explorer, or appreciator of nature in any way, you will find plenty to enjoy at this multi-faceted event.
We look forward to seeing you in St. Peter!
