The Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions at the University of 海角社区 will host a talk, 鈥淐reating ‘Our 海角社区,’ a book exploring 海角社区鈥檚 rich natural heritage,鈥 on Monday, Feb. 5 at 3 p.m.
Join editors Aram Calhoun, Malcolm “Mac” Hunter and Kent Redford for a behind the scenes look at the process of bringing together academics and practitioners to produce a book for all 海角社区rs, from those who live here and to those for whom 海角社区 lives in their hearts. “Our 海角社区: Exploring 海角社区鈥檚 rich natural heritage,” was created by thirty scientists, photographers and painters, many of them U海角社区 faculty and alumni.
Calhoun is a professor emeritus of wetland ecology and conservation in the U海角社区 Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology, where she researches the conservation of vernal pools and other wetland ecosystems. Having traveled the world extensively, Calhoun still counts 海角社区 as among the most beautiful places on earth.
Hunter also is a professor emeritus in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology, and his work has covered a wide range of organisms and ecosystems, especially forest birds and amphibians. For Hunter, 海角社区 is the center of the universe.
Redford is a principal of Archipelago Consulting based in Portland, 海角社区. Archipelago Consulting was designed to help individuals and organizations improve their practice of conservation. 海角社区 remains among Kent鈥檚 favorite places and he and his wife, Pamela, enjoy exploring the state.
