Staff.

This course deals with current topics in environmental planning. Wilderness and wildland resources have been under assault by the Congress, the “Wise Use” movement, property-rights activists, pollutants, and the actual users. This seminar considers historical and philosophical foundations and political factors that affect decisions about environmental policies, planning, acquisition, protection, and management. The roles of government, professional planners and managers, organized special interests, the legal system, citizens, and user groups are examined.
