The Central Rockies ecosystem encompasses a broad range of landscapes from mountain peaks to highly productive montane grasslands, from remote wilderness parks to areas of intense human activity.
People are an integral part of this landscape and have major impacts on ecosystem processes. Maintaining long-term ecological integrity in this region will only be successful if human activities are integrated with ecological goals.
This conference will encompass the complex issues of integrating human values and perspectives with the application of science-based ecosystem management and restoration tools. Issues surrounding climate change, wildlife, fire and water management will be explored within the context of management tools, human dimensions and future landscapes.
The workshop will provide an opportunity to expand ones knowledge base, create new networking opportunities and think outside one’s normal scope.
