Mountain Ecosystems, Mountain
Cultures, and How to Protect Them
Wednesday, March
2, 2005
7:00 p.m., Cline Library Auditorium
Dr. Lawrence Hamilton
The San Francisco Peaks, seen from
all over Flagstaff, are a large part of Flagstaff's culture. Dr.
Hamilton will discuss the value of protecting mountain ecosystems
and cultures and what it means to our local community.
A panel discussion about the implications for the San Francisco
Peaks will follow Dr. Hamilton's talk.
Dr. Hamilton partners with wife Linda Hamilton, in Islands and
Highlands, an Environmental Consultancy based in rural Vermont. He
is Emeritus Professor of Natural Resources of Cornell University,
having taught and researched there for 29 years. In 1993 he
completed a 13-year tenure as Senior Fellow at the East West
Center's Program on Environment where he worked in the arena of
watershed land use, protected areas, tropical rainforest
conservation and sustainable land use in small islands in the
Asia-Pacific region. He is an active member of the World Commission
on Protected Areas, and in that Commission was appointed Vice-Chair
for Mountains.
Come and hear why you should be
concerned about the future of the San Francisco Peaks!
