10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Indiana Statehouse’s North Atrium
Conservation Day is an incredible opportunity to show our elected officials that Hoosiers care about protecting our precious natural resources and preserving our environment. Meet your legislator at our reception and talk to them about how important conservation and preservation of our natural resources is to you. Prior to Conservation Day we will record a web-ex presentation with topics to be discussed with your legislator.
Remember,the more people that attend Conservation Day,the bigger the impact. Come for the whole day or just for your lunch hour. Carpool with co-workers,friends and family or take a brisk walk to the statehouse,and help make a difference!

NEW THIS YEAR:THERE WILL BE NO MORNING INFORMATION SESSION at the Government Center,instead a week prior to the event we will post a link to a recorded web-based PowerPoint presentation that will discuss our priorities and that you can view prior to the reception. Nametags and handouts will be located in the North Atrium starting at 9 am. This gives you time to meet with your legislator that morning if you know they will not be attending the reception.

In short,any member of the general public is allowed in the Statehouse,but once the official carrying capacity is reached then they will have to close the doors. Thus,to be sure that all Conservation Day participants will be allowed in the statehouse, it is strongly recommended that everyone print out a confirmation email and enter the west entrance.
