2006 Northland Bioneers Conference Dedication

The 2006 Northland Bioneers Conference is dedicated to the courageous people of the Gulf Coast Region, whose lives have been so tragically impacted by the hurricanes of 2005, and to the many good people who have opened their homes and pocketbooks and who have traveled to New Orleans and other cities to be of assistance to their neighbors in this crisis.

We who are gathered at this seminal conference live in the Upper Mississippi watershed. As such, we are joined by the River's flow to our sisters and brothers of the Delta. To those who are rebuilding their lives and the vital coastal environs of the Gulf region, we pledge to work to abate the upstream farm runoff and city-generated pollution which clouds the beautiful waterway that links us together. Let us educate ourselves and advocate with others for greater resources to be spent towards recovery and restoration of our Southern coast its barrier islands and multitudinous waters and the unique diverse human culture that thrives there.

Join us!
