Join us for a first-hand understanding of the international, cross-border dimensions of park management. Learn how park managers cooperate across the border on resource protection, scientific research, search and rescue, visitor services and interpretation. We will discuss the peace park as the ecological core of the Crown of the Continent ecosystem. This course will also examine the growing international peace park movement around the globe, a movement spawned and inspired by the designation in 1932 of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, the world's first peace park.
