Tumamoc Hill Author Series

Ranchers + Environmentalists = Happiness in the Desert

Hydrologist Julia Fonseca interviews Stephen Strom, author of Forging a Sustainable Southwest: The Power of Collaborative Conservation. Strom reveals how diverse groups of people came together for the good of the Sonoran Desert in Pima County, preserving open spaces that you can see from Tumamoc Hill! Strom, also a professional photographer, will show slides of large landscapes preserved through collaboration in the southwest. We are faced today with an existential environmental and moral challenge: can we find common purpose in protecting and cherishing these masterpieces and in restoring a sense of shared responsibility for stewarding our endowment?
