SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT: CROSS-DISCIPLINARY AND
CROSS-SECTOR COLLABORATIONS IN WORKING LANDSCAPES
The College of Arts & Sciences, with support of the Gransberg Family Endowment in
Environmental Studies, is pleased to present a campus and community-wide discussion of
sustainable landscape management in rural and urban environments. The primary goal of the
Gransberg Family Endowment is to “provide UND students the opportunity and encouragement
to develop a firm understanding of the environmental crisis the world is facing and to recognize
the environmental consequences of economic decisions.” The speaker series will engage the
campus, local, and regional communities in a discussion of the role inter-relationships among
ecology, sociology, and economics play in the sustainable management of rural and urban
landscapes in public and private sectors.
