Doctoring the land
A public forum,
“Paradigms in Transition: Natural Resources Management in the New
Century,” April 11 at Colorado State University will take a
multi-disciplinary look at how we manage – and mismanage – natural
resources. “We need to educate land stewards like doctors,” says
forum coordinator Rick Knight. “They need to be able to tell when
the land is healthy and when it is degraded, not just how to count
board-feet.” Speakers include Western historian Patricia Limerick,
ecological economist Robert Costanza, historian Curt Meine,
sociologist Mark Brunson, ecologist S.T.A. Pickett and educator
Susan Jacobson. The forum will be held at Lory Student Center,
Colorado State University, Fort Collins. For more information

303/491-6714.
