Just Footprints: Stepping Carefully in Our Creator's World

The Autumn Hope Conference is an annual, faith-based weekend that blends worship, theological reflection and outdoor fieldwork in Merry Lea's wetlands, woodlands and prairies. This year's theme focuses on ecological footprints. How much land is required to feed us, clothe us, house us and process our wastes? What are the best ways to reduce that area? What does it mean to live a sustainable lifestyle? $125 includes Friday supper through Sunday brunch. A limited amount of lodging is available on site for $15 per night.
