Description
Professor of Environmental Studies Patrick Hurley works to better understand the often unrecognized ways that social-political dimensions shape forest conservation interactions. This interactive tour and talk about the Ursinus Food Forest will explore Dr. Patrick Hurley’s very real Ursinus Quest: the effort to apply concepts of multifunctionality and food forestry to approximately two acres of previously farmed land at the Whittaker Environmental Research Station. The onsite engagement with students and the many species on site will introduce the diverse learning experiences that characterize the intergenerational commitment to transforming this place through the creation of a living-learning laboratory.
