Andrus Center Annual Recreation Conference
The Andrus Center for Public Policy will be hosting their Annual Recreation Conference on Tuesday April 18th. This year’s conference, Re-creating Public Land Recreation, will celebrate the popularity of outdoor recreation on public lands and convene a dialogue over how to improve policies and funding, and collaborate across shared recreation spaces. Conversations will be had with a broad set of experts–from the Director of the Bureau of Land Management to the Superintendent of Yellowstone–about how to manage recreation for a new normal. The day-long conference will be at the beautiful Barber Park facility in southeast Boise and will include breakfast and lunch. If you cannot attend in person, there will be a virtual option.
Register online. Discounted tickets are available for students.
