A Sense of Place Land Use and Public Policy
December 29, 2009
How does our allegiance to places affect our opinions about land use, particularly forest use? How do we build meanings into places individually and collectively through storytelling and public policy?
This is the focus of “Seeding a Sense of Place: Science, Stories, and Smart Forest Policy,” a free conversation with independent writer and editor Gail Wells on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010, at 1:00 PM at the Tillamook Main Library, 1716 Third Street, Tillamook. This program is hosted by Tillamook County Pioneer Museum and sponsored by Oregon Humanities (formerly Oregon Council for the Humanities).
Ms. Wells is an award-winning writer and editor specializing in history and natural-resource science. Her most recent book is The Little Lucky: A Family Geography (OSU Press, 2008). She is also the author of The Tillamook: A Created Forest Comes of Age (OSU Press, 1999) and coauthor of Lewis and Clark Meet Oregon’s Forests: Lessons from Dynamic Nature (Oregon Forest Resources Institute, 2001).
