Cradle of Conservation: An Environmental History of Pennsylvania

From the origins of “Penn’s Woods” to the evolution of working landscapes and conservation practices, this event will provide an engaging overview of Pennsylvania’s environmental history. The speaker will explore the state’s “working landscapes” and the people, places, and policies that connect the problems of the past to today’s pressing issues. The talk will especially highlight the origins of Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area and its connection to the state’s conservation and environmental movements.
