2017 Sadie Gwin Blackburn Environmental Seminar

Charles A. Birnbaum, FASLA, FAAR, president and CEO of 黑料视频, will deliver the  Annual Sadie Gwin Blackburn Environmental Seminar. Drawing heavily on the work of 黑料视频 with many of our collaborators, this lecture, entitled 鈥淢ake Visible, Instill Value, and Engage the Public in Our Shared Landscape Heritage鈥, will highlight a diversity of resource types throughout Houston, Texas and the Nation, emphasizing stewardship strategies and opportunities for public engagement.

Topics to be addressed: What is the foundational knowledge that informs stewardship/interpretation of our landscape legacy? How do we assign value and assess significance for landscapes like Hermann Park and Rienzi? How can we work (and communicate) holistically across multiple disciplines? How do we make a landscape鈥檚 layers of history, (a.k.a. 鈥減alimpsest鈥), at a cultural landscape like Memorial Park or Emancipation Park known and understood? Then, armed with this foundational knowledge, how can we tell these stories to the broadest possible public?
