Each Annual Meeting, we host an academic poster session featuring presentations from students, university extension staff, community partners, & other scientific professionals showcasing cutting-edge research in sustainable winegrowing. This year's biodiversity-focused poster session was held on April 2nd at the Allison Inn in Newberg, Oregon. This year's posters were curated by Dr. Eleanor Gaines, Director of the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center at Portland State University within the Oregon State University’s Institute for Natural Resources. Posters represent the views and research of their authors, and do not necessarily reflect those of LIVE, its Board of Directors, technical committees, or published standards. Please consult with your local technical committee chair if you have questions. View this year's posters:
