CGF Forum set for Thursday, February 13
Managing Public Lands: Competing Priorities for Public Open Space

The public is invited to an environmental forum at which a panel will discuss the stewardship of public lands and the competing priorities for our open space. What are the common uses and management practices? What are the sources of contention, and how can we resolve these conflicts?

The forum, entitled Managing Public Lands: Competing Priorities for Public Open Space is hosted by Committee for Green Foothills, and cosponsored by Acterra, the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council, Greenbelt Alliance, the League of Women Voters of Los Altos / Mountain View, Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, and Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter.

Howard Levitt, National Park Service/GGNRA;
Craig Britton, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District;
Keith Demetrak, California State Parks;
Holly Van Houghten, Bay Area Ridge Trail;
Rod Brown, mountain biker and hiker;
Jeri Flinn, representing dog owners;
Rich Allen, representing the equestrian community; and
Dr. Bill Freedman, representing hikers and walkers.

The forum will be held on Thursday, February 13, 2003 from 7-9 pm in the Auditorium of the Palo Alto Art Center, 1313 Newell, Palo Alto.

The event is free and open to the public. No reservations are required. Snacks will be provided.
