High Country News: Healing the Rift, Healing the Land Date: November 9, 2007 The Forum;
Length: 1 hr. 46 min.
The environmental movement is responsible for some of the most
groundbreaking legislation of our time — but it has been also seen as
the enemy of rural, land-based communities whose hand-to-mouth
economies subsist on the use of diminishing natural resources. Changing
realities are now bringing these traditionally warring communities
together, and each side is recognizing the value of the other in
fighting the greater enemy: corporate development of our public lands.
Join Paul Larmer, publisher and executive director of the
groundbreaking magazine High Country News, for a lecture on this maturing cultural and political movement.
