The first article, “Growing Organizational Challenges for the U.S. Forest Service: Results of a Longitudinal Study in a Period of Major Environmental Change,” chronicles the changes in the agency over the last two decades. The second article, “Organizational Learning and the Fate of Adaptive Management in the U.S. Forest Service,” assesses the learning capacity of the agency as a condition for successful implementation of adaptive management. Prof. Keith McDade (natural resource management) is one of 40 individuals nationwide selected as a 2009 TogetherGreen Fellow. The $10,000 fellowships fund community-focused projects to engage local residents in conserving land, water and energy, and in contributing to greater environmental health. Keith plans to develop a peer learning network and resources to facilitate the sharing of information among landowners and land managers in Vermont. Since private landowners and land managers play such a critical role in land management decisions, Keith “wants to help them connect and share information so that Vermont’s ecosystems can continue to provide habitat and protect water quality in the face of fragmentation,” according to a press release from Audubon. Audubon and Toyota launched the TogetherGreen initiative in 2008. Prof. Karen Swyler's (art) work is featured in a solo exhibition titled "Still" at Dubhe Carreno Gallery from November 20 through December 23. The opening reception will take place December 11 from 5-8 p.m. Works are available for purchase. |
