It’s just around the corner. Rendezvous 2019 is March 15-17 at Fountainebleau State Park on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain near Mandeville, La.
Rendezvous is our annual statewide Master Naturalist meeting. This year is our 4th and the third I will attend, and I predict it will be bigger and better than ever. Education will be our focus as always, and Fountainebleau offers excellent, diverse natural areas to explore.
Rendezvous begins at dinner time Friday night and will end with lunch Sunday. However, it is also quite acceptable to come and go as you are able. We will do a continuous BioBlitz from the time we arrive Friday until the last people depart Sunday.
The registration fee is a modest $80; it includes food and lodging, if you’re willing to stay in a dorm-type cabin in the state park (one for men and one for women). Numerous hotels are available in Mandeville and the surrounding area, if you prefer. You can register online via the LMN Association website.
Here are several documents that will tell you most anything you want to know. I and Kim Paxton are on the statewide board and have been part of all the planning discussions, so don’t hesitate to ask one of us if you still have questions.
