-- Leopolds Legacy: Extensions Response to a Changing World --"The land ethic at work today"Conference Date and Location:May 20 – 23, 2008Monona Terrace Community and Convention CenterMadison, WisconsinOur conference will be in Aldo Leopold’s backyard. He was a wildlife biologist, forester, land use prophet, and conservation/environmental visionary. His career, writings and legacy continue to reflect the core values of ANREP. We work in a new era of natural resource outreach opportunities! Extension must respond to a wave of increased environmental-related public interest and activism. Sparked by increased media attention, recognition by elected leaders of environmental threats, and a greater public appreciation of the scientific community on natural resource issues, we can expect an emergence of an increased thirst for knowledge and a greater need for help in making informed decisions by the public in the arenas that Extension natural resource professionals work. Expanding global climate change awareness, energy issues, threats to water resources, loss of open space in communities and more will bring increased demands and teachable moments to Extension natural resource professionals. Our goal for this conference is to ensure participants that they will have up-to-date information, education and tools to meet this opportunity. This land ethic theme calls for a variety of formats for presentations.
