Event Description
The biennial George Wright Society Conference on Parks, Protected Areas, and Cultural Sites, GWS2013 is all about reflection, reconnection, and renewal — a week of stimulating discussion about leading-edge research, innovative practices, and foundational values.
Every two years, the George Wright Society organizes the USA’s premier interdisciplinary professional meeting on parks, protected areas, and cultural sites. By these three overlapping terms we mean a broad array of places, both “cultural” and “natural,” managed by different entities under a variety of designations:
- parks at all levels: federal, state/provincial, county, and city
- historic, archaeological, and other cultural sites; cultural landscapes; protected landscapes/seascapes
- research areas and designated wilderness within national and state forests; other protected natural areas
- grasslands, wildlife refuges, and other protected public lands
- areas and sites administered by tribal nations and/or indigenous people; community-conserved areas; sacred natural sites
- marine protected areas; estuarine, freshwater, and other aquatic sanctuaries
- private land-trust reserves
The GWS is unique among professional organizations because our mission is to encourage dialogue and information exchange among all the people needed for protected area conservation, across all disciplines.
Want to share your work, your ideas, your ideals with the larger parks community? The GWS conference is the place to do it. We invite abstracts from people who want to:
- organize a Concurrent Session
- organize a Workshop
- organize an Affinity Meeting
- organize a Business Meeting
- organize a Sharing Circle
- organize a Café Conversation
- present a PAC (Paper for Assignment to a Concurrent session)
- present a Poster
- present an Exhibit
This wide variety of options makes for an exciting, diverse program.
