An in-depth look into the factors and events that stimulated the environmental movement and laid the foundation for today’s eco-consciousness. This course will examine the management of natural resources at national, regional, state, and local levels. Students will explore the differences between preservation and conservation philosophies. They will also investigate policies that govern both point- and non-point source pollution, air, soil, and water quality, and how these policies aim to balance economic growth and stewardship.
