2012 Harvest Gathering - Managing Land with Science in Hand

Managing Land with Science in Hand
~ Highlights of World Class Science and Land Management in the Bay Area ~
The Bay Area is known for its strong scientific community as well as the 1 million plus acres of parks, trails, farms, ranches and open spaces. Throughout the region there are scientists applying their research to on-the-ground (or in-the-marsh) projects. The result is better decisions, innovative techniques and stronger partnerships. How did these partnerships form? How are the scientists… Show more involved? What are the keys to a successful partnership between science and land management? What funding is available?
