The George Wright Society: Better Knowledge, Better Decisions, Better Parks The George Wright Society promotes protected area stewardship by bringing practitioners together to share their expertise. Founded in 1980, we are an international nonprofit association of researchers, resource manag-ers, educators, administrators, and activists working in parks, other kinds of protected natural areas, and cultural and historic sites. We promote professional research and resource stewardship across natural and cultural dis-ciplines, provide avenues of communication (such as this conference and our thrice-yearly journal, The George Wright Forum), and encourage public policies that embrace these values. We strive to be the premier organiza-tion connecting people, places, knowledge, and ideas to foster excellence in natural and cultural resource man-agement, research, protection, and interpretation in parks, protected areas, and cultural sites. If you share these goals, please join us! Membership in the GWS is open to anyone, and includes a subscription to the Forum. You can join here in Oakland by seeing us at the Registration Desk, or later online at www.georgewright.org/join.

George Melendez Wright was the first scientist to work for the U.S. National Park Service. Wright was known for his keen ecological insights and winning personality. He was a strong proponent of putting “resources first” in parks and fought for ecological integrity in protected natural areas. More than this, as a Hispanic American he respected the value of cultural diversity, and understood the impor-tance of marshaling natural and cultural resource disciplines in concert to achieve park management goals. Thanks to the generosity of Pam and Jim Lloyd, we are very pleased to offer you a special commemorative book about Wright’s life and continuing legacy as part of your registration materials. The GWS Biennial Conferences: Critical Thinking Since 1982 GWS2015 is the 18th in a series of conferences whose origins date back to 1976, the year the U.S. National Park Service held its first con-ference on science in national parks; another followed in 1979. Beginning in 1982, the GWS has organized the conferences, expanding them beyond science to embrace all kinds of inquiry related to parks, protected areas, and cultural sites. The GWS biennial has become the USA’s leading interdisciplinary conference in the field. It is the only such conference to actively seek participation from across the entire spectrum of disciplines and activities that are necessary for successful protected area management.


GWS2015: Designed to Deliver Results Past GWS conferences asked potential presenters to submit proposals according to format. For example, if you wanted to organize a Panel Discussion, you filled out a form for a panel discussion. There was little emphasis on what the sessions or presentations themselves were trying to achieve, and no easy way for attendees to extract that information from abstracts. For GWS2015, we have moved to a conference framework that focuses on results: proposals are classified according to what they are trying to accomplish.

The entire conference is divided into sessions: blocks of time that are structured in different ways so as to achieve a specific outcome. There are five types:

Challenge Sessions start with one or more speakers who challenge members of the audience to question their assumptions. These sessions ask attendees to reconsider everything they think they know about the session topic. The outcome is that at-tendees emerge from the session with their critical thinking faculties fully engaged.

Update Sessions bring attendees together to fill them in on the latest developments with regard to an project, program, or issue. The outcome is that attendees emerge from the session fully up-to-date on the topic.

Compass Sessions ask two questions: “Where are we?” and “Where do we want to go?” These sessions start with a state-of-knowledge summary of a particular topic, and then ask the audience to reflect on where we should go from here. The outcome is a range of possible directions with respect to the session topic that attendees can share with colleagues.

Collaboration Sessions bring attendees together to work on or provide input into a specific project or product—it could be a plan, a set of guidelines, a survey, etc. At the end of the session, the organizers will give attendees the opportunity to help complete the project/product by joining a working group that will continue after the conference.

Skills Sessions are hands-on training opportunities that increase the capacity of attendees to solve a specific problem. The outcome is that attendees leave with new skills applicable to the problem.

GWS2015 is formatted into Plenary Sessions, Focus Sessions, Concurrent Sessions, and a Poster/Exhibit Session.

Plenary Sessions• are the keynotes of the conference, when all conferees come together to learn about and discuss important top-ics. Focus Sessions• are like Plenary Sessions, except that there are three or four going on at once, instead of just one. The • Poster/Exhibit Session runs continuously from Sunday through noon on Thursday. Posters and Exhibits are available for continuous viewing for the duration of the session. A Poster Spotlight Reception will be held on Tuesday, March 31, from 6:30–7:30 pm in Exhibit Hall East 1. Presenters should plan to stand by their Poster or Exhibit during this time.Concurrent Sessions• , all two hours long, include:

Invited Papers• and Contributed Papers sessions, consisting of individual oral presentations, each lasting twenty minutes: fifteen for the presentation, and five for questions and answers (Q&A) with the audience. In some sessions, the last twenty minutes of the two-hour session are reserved for general Q&A with all the session’s presenters. Panel Discussions• involve short panelist presentations followed by extensive interactions with the audience. Day-cappers• are intended to give people an alternative to standard sessions during the late afternoon, and take a variety of in-novative formats.

Conference Overview


Sharing Circles• are a way for conference participants to share information and experiences in a more personal setting. More participatory and spontaneous than the standard lecturer/audience model of information transfer, Sharing Circles provide an alternative way of learning that many people are more comfortable with. They are particularly associated with Indigenous tradi-tions of teaching and sharing. Sharing Circles are guided by an organizer who introduces the topic, begins the conversation and keeps it moving and focused, and makes sure that everyone has a chance to participate in the discussion as he or she wishes. Café Conversations• are a format that combines small-group discussions with dialogue among all session attendees. They take place in a meeting room set up so as to resemble a café, i.e., round tables where no more than ten people are seated. Workshops• are designed to get input or other assistance from attendees on a specific product or to give people new skills. New for GWS2015, • Lightning Sessions (aka “20/20” or “PechaKucha” sessions) are a fast-paced alternative to regular talks. Each presenter gets only 20 slides, each of which is on-screen for 20 seconds, making for a total presentation time of 6 minutes 40 seconds. The intent is for the presenter to quick-hit on the highlights of the work so that the audience gets the gist of what’s going on quickly.

All sessions, and individual Contributed Papers, Posters, and Exhibits, have a Value Proposition and a set of Keywords. Value Proposi-tions are a one-sentence summary of what you will get out of attending that session or presentation. For sessions, the Value Proposition is printed in italics in this Program Guide; for individual Contributed Papers, Posters, and Exhibits, the Value Proposition can be found in the Abstract PDF on your stick drive. The Keywords are also found in the Abstract PDF, and separately on the stick drive there is an alphabetical list of all Keywords to help you search Abstracts by topic.

Complimentary beverages will be available to all registrants during the morning and afternoon break periods on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Breaks will be served on the first floor, either in the Atrium or in the corridor near the Exhibit Hall. All sessions are open to all registrants. You do not have to sign up in advance to attend a particular session, and you are welcome to move between sessions to catch individual presentations.

An Important Note on Punctuality and Last-minute Changes We know that many people like to jump between Concurrent Sessions to catch individual presentations, and that it’s frustrating to come into a room only to find a session running behind schedule. We have asked session chairs to do their utmost to keep the sessions running on schedule. Inevitably, however, some sessions will be affected by last-minute changes. All changes that are received after this Program Guide goes to press (in early March) will be summarized on a Late News handout included in your registration packet.

In the event of very-last-minute cancellations and/or no-shows in Invited Papers or Contributed Papers sessions, the session chairs have been instructed to “close the gap” by moving all subsequent papers up a slot within the session. This means, of course, that at least a portion of the affected session will be running ahead of schedule. We understand that this is not a perfect solution, and that it will be frustrating for people who are trying to catch a particular paper, only to find that it has already been presented. Nonetheless, after trying other alternatives over the years we feel this is the best way to deal with a situation that, we hope, will not crop up too often during the week. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Conference Proceedings & The George Wright Forum An edited Conference Proceedings will be published by the George Wright Society as a record of the conference. The Proceedings will be published as a PDF e-book on the GWS website. Certain papers will be selected for publication in the GWS’s journal, The George Wright Forum. Anyone who is making a presentation at the conference is welcome to prepare a paper—even people who are giving Posters or Exhibits. For more on how to submit a paper for the proceedings, see www.georgewright.org/gws2015_instructions. The deadline for submissions is May 29, 2015.

The George Melendez Wright Student Travel Scholarships The George Melendez Wright Student Travel Scholarships were created in 2005 to encourage students from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds to participate in our biennial conference and develop an interest in the conservation and preservation of parks, protected areas, and cultural sites worldwide. Scholarship recipients have the opportunity to participate in conference sessions and learning activi-ties, as well as network with peers and professionals from a variety of disciplines in protected areas conservation. The GWS extends a special thanks to the National Park Service for helping realize the vision of bringing a diverse and talented student pool to the George Wright Society Conference. We are pleased to welcome all the Student Travel Scholarship recipients to the conference. We are indebted to Timia Thompson for coordinating scholarship-related activities. www.georgewright.org/gmwsts

The Indigenous Participant Travel Grant Program The George Wright Society organizes the Indigenous Participant Travel Grant Program to support the participation of Indigenous peo-ple at these conferences. The interface between Indigenous interests and protected areas is highly important; to have genuine and criti-cally enriching dialogue, there must be face-to-face engagement between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. This dialogue can lead to multi-directional learning, improved relationships, new conservation strategies, and expanded vision and planning. The GWS hopes to facilitate this dialogue by offering these travel grants. We extend a warm welcome to all Indigenous Participant Travel Grant Awardees. Our thanks go to the National Park Service and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians for supporting the program.

We also want to thank our Indigenous Involvement Working Group for the many hours of discussion and planning that went into creating the travel grant program, the Indigenous-themed Focus Session, and numerous concurrent sessions that highlight Indigenous achieve-ments and issues. Members of the Working Group are: Nathalie Gagnon and Melia Lane-Kamahele (co-chairs), Angela Mooney D’Arcy, Freddie Romero, and Corinna Gould. We also appreciate the efforts of Fawn YoungBear-Tibbetts in coordinating Indigenous Film Night. www.georgewright.org/nptg

Plenary Session I •8:00–9:30am•GrandBallroomDEFGH

Parks as a Key to Preventive Healthcare: The Power of Partnerships between Park and Health Professionals

Call to order / Welcome: Nathalie Gagnon•President,GeorgeWrightSocietyAnnouncements: Jan van Wagtendonk•Member,BoardofDirectors,GeorgeWrightSocietyModerator/discussant: Kristin Wheeler•InstituteattheGoldenGate

Speakers:Mariajose Alcantara•GoldenGateNationalRecreationAreaFatima Colindres•GoldenGateNationalRecreationAreaRaymond J. Baxter•KaiserPermanente

Discussant:Jonathan B. Jarvis•Director,NationalParkService

Professional interest in the connections between human health and being in nature is taking off in a big way. Establishing parks as a low or no-cost preventive health choice creates an unprecedented opportunity for parks to serve new audiences, but what’s really exciting is how the medical profession is beginning to embrace this concept. Healthy Parks, Healthy People and Park Rx are only two of the many programs that are exploring the link between health and parks.

The Bay Area is a leading center of innovation in this area. Our colleagues at the Institute at the Golden Gate have organized a dynamic discussion to kick off the conference. This session will get you up to speed on some of the latest thinking about the Health/Parks connec-tion.

Mariajose Alcantara, a Latina Park Ranger since 2007, is part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area’s Community Programs and Outreach Team. Ranger Mariajose is dedicated to outreach to new and diverse audiences through programs, hikes, fairs and festivals, in hopes of inspiring youth and people of color to grow a love and passion for the National Parks. You may find Ranger Mariajose hiking around Golden Gate National Recreation Area, singing at a campfire program, driving the Roving Ranger around the Bay Area, or leading Healthy Parks Healthy People programs the first Saturday of every month in the Presidio of San Francisco.

Fatima Colindres is an Interpretive Park Ranger at the Presidio of San Francisco. She has worked with the Na-tional Park Service since she was 24 years old. Her NPS career began with 2 years as an Environmental Intern and for the last 15 years she has been a Park Ranger. She is known for her outreach in the community bringing new audiences of all ages and backgrounds to the park. Her programs incorporate storytelling from around the world, and health and wellness. Fatima has always loved the outdoors and the healing qualities of being outdoors, therefore when she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and started having difficulty walking, she decided to turn a negative into a positive and create new programs that would cater to people like herself, who could not move as fast or as easily as before but still wanted to be outdoors.

Watching the World Go Away: Sliding Baselines, Diminished Expectations, and the Future of Protected Places

KathleenDeanMoore•DistinguishedProfessorofPhilosophyEmerita,OregonStateUniversity

A stream overflowing with salmon and bears, the crowded confetti of a coral reef — how many people alive today have ever seen an ecosys-tem in its full and glorious complexity? Most of us live in a stripped-down, dammed-up, paved-over, desperately impoverished landscape. Over time, this becomes the norm — the way it’s always been, the way it must always be, the standard against which we measure gain and loss, gratitude and grief.

This, of course, is the problem of the sliding ecological baseline. Its result is a sliding moral baseline: we ask so little of ourselves, caught up in an astonishing disregard for the quietly vanishing creatures and landscapes. But who can grieve the loss of what they never knew? And then, almost unnoticed, comes the sliding baseline of the imagination. Who can imagine a truly healthy ecosystem, who lives in a landscape of loss and no longer notices? Even our sense of possibility has been strip-mined.

What is the role of the national parks and other protected areas in these years when the ecological baselines are falling so fast that the time has earned the name, the Sixth Extinction?

KathleenDeanMoore is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy Emerita and co-founder and Senior Fellow of the Spring Creek Project for Ideas, Nature, and the Written Word at Oregon State University. An environmental philosopher, Moore writes about moral, spiritual, and cultural relationships to the natural world. Her most recent books are Wild Comfort and the co-edited volume Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril.

The Presidio is a laboratory for partnership stewardship practices in environmental restoration, historic preservation and park design. Rolf Diamant recently described it in The George Wright Forum as “one of the most ambitious experiments in public park-making, ur-ban design and multi-sector cooperation anywhere in the world.” Lessons in crafting partnerships, attracting philanthropic support and applying tax credit programs can be learned from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, Presidio Trust and others around the country.

Climate Change Adaptation isn’t for Sissies •8:00–9:30am•GrandBallroomDE

Welcome and introduction: DavidParsons•GWS Board MemberChair of session: LeighWelling•National Park Service

Speakers: AnthonyBarnosky•Professor of Integrative Biology, University of California, BerkeleyPatrickGonzalez•Climate Change Scientist, National Park ServiceJoshuaLawler•Associate Professor, Forest Resources, University of WashingtonMarkSchwartz•Professor, Environmental Science and Policy, University of California, Davis

With the rapidly diminishing utility of the historical range of variability in framing “desired conditions” or conservation goals, protected area managers struggle to find solid footing and direction in the world of climate change adaptation. Speakers in this panel are distin-guished contributors in advancing concepts for conservation planning in a rapidly changing environment, understanding limits of tools such as vulnerability assessments, illuminating challenges and concerns regarding non-traditional strategies such as managed relocation, and alerting decision makers to the real potential for abrupt climate change. Panelists will discuss what is different about planning for conservation in a rapidly changing environment; adaptation strategies over different temporal and spatial scales; key issues associated with managed relocation; and approaches to establish an early warning system for tipping points in order to anticipate surprises.

Inspiring a New Generation: Strategies for Transformational Change in Relationships for Youth, Nature, and Parks •8:00–9:30am•GrandBallroomFGH

Welcome and introduction: LynnWilson•Member, GWS Board of DirectorsChair of session: AlanLatourelle•Chief Executive Officer, Parks Canada AgencyCo-chair and facilitator: KarenKeenleyside•Parks Canada Agency

Thursday, April 2


To build support for parks and other protected areas into the future we must ensure that young current and future leaders across all sec-tors of society care about nature and support its conservation. Fundamental to achieving this goal is ensuring that young people have the experiences in nature, particularly in childhood, that lead to deep life-long personal connections with nature. We must also empower young people in decision-making so that they can be current and future leaders for change. This focus session will draw on the outcomes from the Inspiring a New Generation stream of the 2014 IUCN World Parks Congress to identify key strategies for connecting young people with nature and empowering them to be agents of positive change. An introductory presentation will be followed by a facilitated discussion of strategic and practical steps that can be taken to ensure that our planet’s future leaders are parks supporters.

New Directions in Interpretation •8:00–9:30am•GrandBallroomC

Welcome and introduction: MattBrowning•Graduate Student Liaison to the GWS BoardChair of session: JuliaWashburn•National Park Service

Speakers: MiltonChen•Senior Fellow, The George Lucas Educational FoundationLotteI.Lent•Assistant Director, The George Washington UniversityTheresaG.Coble•Associate Professor, Stephen F. Austin State University

The National Park Service (NPS) launched its first park website in mid-1990s. Since then, added to the mix are a range of social media platforms, mobile applications, and distance and online learning. The enormous educational opportunities created by technological advances are amplified by the recognition that formal education is just one piece of the learning puzzle. Learners are looking for person-alized experiences driven by their interests, and learning can occur at any time and in any place. Learners take these experiences and attach them to their educational infrastructure while creating their own understanding. This type of engagement will become even more prevalent as a generation brought up with Facebook and other social media enter into the civic dialogue. This session will explore the characteristics and needs of the 21st-century learner and examine how technology helps meet those needs through the perspectives of experts in education technology and learning.

Plenary Session III •5:30pm–6:30pm•GrandBallroomDE

One World: North American Park Leaders Respond to “The Promise of Sydney” . . . and Prepare for 2016 World Conservation Congress

Moderator: BrentMitchell•QLF/Atlantic Center for the Environment

Panelists:AlanLatourelle•Chief Executive Officer, Parks Canada AgencyErnestoEnkerlinHoeflich•Chair, IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas

The year 2016 will be momentous for parks and protected areas in the USA. It ushers in the second century of the US National Park Ser-vice and brings the world’s largest conservation event to the United States for the first time (the World Conservation Congress, organized by IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, to be held in Honolulu, Hawai`i, September 2016). This closing plenary will look to the future of parks and protected areas in North America. Panelists will comment on “The Promise of Sydney” — the find-ings of the recent, decadal World Parks Congress. The speakers will discuss parallels to national agendas for the next year, give us some of their initial thoughts about the upcoming World Conservation Congress, and reflect on the future of national parks and protected areas in the coming decade, and beyond. (Speaker bios below.)


Since joining the Canadian federal government in 1983, Alan Latourelle has occupied positions of increasing responsibility in the field of corporate services, strategic planning, portfolio affairs, policy and operational pro-gram delivery. In 1997, Latourelle was appointed assistant deputy minister, Department of Canadian Heritage. He then joined Parks Canada as director general, Western and Northern Canada, and in 1999 became chief administrative officer before being named chief executive officer in 2002.

Ernesto Enkerlin Hoeflich chairs the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s World Commission on Protected Areas, a global volunteer network of protected area professionals. Enkerlin previously helmed CONANP, Mexico’s national protected area agency.
