Join your colleagues for a daylong symposium featuring regional, national,
and international thought leaders who will present and discuss the
conceptual framework and the implementation strategies currently being
employed to conserve large lived-in landscapes such as the Essex National
Heritage Area (Essex County).



In response to the impacts of globalization, climate change, and
environmental degradation, conservationists, resource stewards, and public
officials are embracing a much larger, whole ecosystem approach to
conserving land and its attendant historic and cultural attributes. This
emerging approach requires building complex networks of partnerships and
overlapping jurisdictions which work in concert to conserve the natural,
historical, and cultural resources of the regional landscape.



Keynote Speaker: P. Lynn Scarlett, Global Managing Director for Public
Policy, The Nature Conservancy. Ms. Scarlett is a former Deputy Secretary
of the U.S. Department of the Interior and a leading U.S. environmental
policy executive and analyst.



Organized by Essex Heritage <http://www.essexheritage.org/> and hosted by
the PEM/Peabody Essex Museum <http://pem.org/>, the symposium is designed
for natural, historical, and cultural resource professionals such as
municipal officials, regional and local planners, state agency staff,
nonprofit resource stewards, and college faculty and students.
