In cooperation with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the
Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, the Institute
cosponsored the first Conservation Leadership Dialogue, “Conservation
in the 21st Century: A Leadership Dialogue.” This national
symposium, held in June 2002 at the Lincoln Land Institute in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, was a gathering of top conservation leaders. Twenty-five
participants from across the country discussed innovation in conservation
science, conservation education, resource protection, and stewardship.
The first dialogue launched an annual series. The second Conservation
Leadership Dialogue, “Landscape-scale Conservation: Grappling
with the Green Matrix,” was held June 2003 at the Presidio
in Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco. Participants
explored definitions, examples, and strategies used in landscape
scale conservation efforts. The 2003 dialogue was cosponsored
by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the Program on Conservation
Innovation at the Harvard Forest, QLF/Atlantic Center for the
Environment, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and Golden
Gate National Parks Conservancy.
