Abstract
The first event, on conserving biodiversity on working lands in the Great Plains, is set for Oct. 4 at the Education College
The University of North Dakota College of Arts & Sciences, with support of the Gransberg Family Endowment in Environmental Studies, will present a campus and community-wide discussion of sustainable landscape management in rural and urban environments during the 2013-2014 academic year.
The first event in the series will feature Dr. David Engle, regents professor at Oklahoma State in Stillwater, who will present a seminar on "Conserving Biodiversity on Working Lands in the Great Plains," at noon, Friday, Oct. 4, in the UND College of Education and Human Development Building.
The noon seminar is free and open to the public.
The primary goal of the Gransberg Family Endowment is to "provide UND students the opportunity and encouragement to develop a firm understanding of the environmental crisis the world is facing and to recognize the environmental consequences of economic decisions," according to organizers.
The speaker series is intended to engage the campus, local and regional communities in a discussion of the role inter-relationships among ecology, sociology and economics play in the sustainable management of rural and urban landscapes in public and private sectors.
