This week, hundreds of people – scientists, writers, managers, etc. – gathered at the University of California Berkeley to discuss the future of our most treasured spaces, the National Parks. The summit, titled “Science for Parks, Parks for Science” commemorated the 100th anniversary of a much smaller get-together that took place at Berkeley in 1915, which eventually led to the establishment of the National Park Service. I was happy to take part in the summit as a graduate student organizer and eager audience member. The summit was filled to the brim with inspiring speakers.
