Lecture Series: Albuquerque's Open Space and Urban-Wildlands Conservation
Albuquerque has always attracted outdoor enthusiasts, such as Aldo Leopold, who helped to create parks and open spaces. Nearly 28,000 acres, in and around Albuquerque, are managed by Albuquerque Open Spacein order to conserve natural and archaeological resources, provide opportunities for outdoor education, provide a place for high and low impact recreation, and define the edges of the urban environment.
Dr. Schmader's book, Albuquerque's Parks and Open Spaces was published by Arcadia Publishing in 2011.
He will be available to sign the book after the lecture.
Dr. Matt Schmader is Superintendent of Open Space with the Parks and Recreation Department of Albuquerque, New Mexico. He holds degrees from the UNM (M.A. and Ph.D.), and his research focuses on petroglyphs and rock images, the 16th century Spanish exploration of the Southwest, early puebloan pithouse villages, and rock image site management and conservation. He has been the principal investigator on more than 50 research projects in central New Mexico during the past 25 years.
