The Northwest Scientific Association is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1923.  

We are a network of professional and amateur scientists from diverse disciplines that provides support and a forum for research and education relevant to the environment and resource management of northwestern North America. Since 1923, the NWSA has existed for the purpose of promoting scientific research and disseminating scientific knowledge. We publish a quarterly journal, Northwest Science and host annual meetings. This is the first meeting to be held in Eugene. The meeting provides excellent opportunity for networking for graduate students and even undergraduate students.

Our conference theme is "Cascading Changes: Understanding and Managing Natural Systems". Please see our website for the list of excellent plenary speakers, registration information, and conference schedule. Abstract submission will be extended until March 3.
