2026 Oak Leaf Symposium

October 22, 10am-3pm | PACE Center, Parker, CO

Each year, DLC presents the Oak Leaf Award to a regional conservation hero. We also recognize outstanding land stewardship with the Mel Sorensen Stewardship Award.

This year’s awards will be part of a half-day educational symposium inspired by our award recipients, who will be announced soon. The Oak Leaf Symposium is open to conservation professionals, DLC volunteers, and the public. The program includes a keynote and breakout sessions. We’ll conclude with lunch and an awards ceremony for our honorees, whose dedication exemplifies our mission of land conservation and stewardship. Standard tickets, priced at $65 each, will go on sale soon. DLC Volunteers will receive an email with an access code to purchase discounted tickets. We look forward to seeing you at our Oak Leaf Symposium in October!
