Workshop – Conservation Policy

Conservation Policy

Charlie Booher and Hannah Downey 

Wednesday, March 5^th  8am – 12pm

Cost: $35 regular/$15 students; Max capacity: 30

Many wildlife students still don’t have an opportunity to take a policy class at all. Those who do have the opportunity typically experience either a recitation of agency structure, enabling legislation, and treaties, or a collection of stories from folks who have worked in the business of wildlife policy for some time. While both are valuable, we aim to offer guidance on how to understand and influence formal and informal policy in all its forms (private, public, local, corporate, state, federal, etc.).

Charlie Booher is a consultant at Watershed Results LLC who specializes in natural resource conflict resolution. Hannah Downey is the Director of Policy at the Property and Environmental Research Center.
