Winter Enrichment: State Parks: Valuing the Invaluable in a Time of Austerity

About This Lecture: Davis’s new book, The Other Public Lands, is the first comprehensive account of the natural resource lands owned and managed by the fifty states.

Event Details: Doors open at 9:30 am, and the lecture runs from 10 - 11:30 am. About the Series: The Arboretum's Winter Enrichment Lecture Series is an annual tradition dating to the late 1960s.
