Learning Lessons: Management Decisions of the Past and Future

The Lyceum, from its beginnings with the scholar Aristotle in ancient Greece to the American Lyceums of the 1880s featured renowned speakers like Emerson, Thoreau, Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, has come to mean many things: lectures, discussions, plays and concerts. Yet through the centuries, the purpose of the Lyceum has remained unchanged: to stimulate thought and increase understanding."

Guest speakers are an important part of our interpretive outreach efforts, bringing an added dimension of information and expertise to our visitors. Our theme for spring 2008 is Learning Lessons: Management Decisions of the Past and Future. As Rocky Mountain National Park's centennial approaches, we feel it is a good time to look at understanding the past (as we are living in the results of decisions made previously), facing the issues of today, and looking forward to the future. We are interested in how real people make real decisions about real problems in the entire Rocky Mountain Region, as well as in the park. From climate to forests history to wildlife to water to policy to monitoring...... many topics will be presented, looking forward or back in time, on factors affecting this landscape and our decisions about it.
