The Poppers' Buffalo Commons: Reimagining the Great Plains

What you ask is Buffalo Commons?  Allan always has a funny anecdote up his sleeve, but Buffalo Commons isn’t one of them.  You’ll have the opportunity to hear Allan explore the topic, or as he puts it, “In 1987, two Rutgers University academics wrote and article for an obscure journal. Amazingly, the idea they proposed in the article blew up in the media (do you remember the uproar?). It prompted debate across the plains.”  In this session, we will discuss the Poppers’ idea, the controversy it generated, and what has happened on this issue since 1987!

PRESENTER: Dr. Allan Jenkins
DATE: Wednesday, January 29
TIME:  9:30 am
