Lynn W. Day Distinguished Lectureship in Forest and Conservation History
The Lynn
W. Day Distinguished Lectureship in Forest and Conservation History
is a collaborative effort between the Forest History Society and the
Duke University Nicholas School of
the Environment and Earth Sciences and the Department
of History. It seeks to recognize a scholar or leader in natural
resources that is shaping our understanding of human history and environmental
change. In addition to being serious scholarship, the lectureships will
be accessible to a broad audience on unique and provocative topics and
philosophies. The lectureship is supported by funds derived from the
Society's Lynn W. Day Endowment
for Publications in Forest History. The Endowment was augmented
with funds from a Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the
Humanities.
