Winter Lecture Series: Living with the Planet

This year's topic was prompted by the need to understand our dynamic planet and the changes that lie ahead. We truly live in an exciting time when the adaptability and ingenuity of man will take center stage as we rise to challenges that may affect both the way we live and in some cases where we choose to live. Join us for an exciting look at our continent, and our region and learn what you can do to better live within our natural resources while supporting sustainable energy. January 17, February 27, and March 14.
