As the University of Alberta prepares to host Thinking Mountains 2012, we share a few recent mountain journals from Banff.
From Oct.12-14, 2012, graduate students and faculty from across Canada participated in anenvironmental history field trip to Banff National Park. Three participants wrote about their experience in the park, and shared those recollections on The Otter:
- Michael Del Vecchio, Tweeting Banff’s History
- Eric Payseur, 16 in 5 Million: Somewhere between Bear 71 and a Museum of a Museum
- Bobbie Swartman, Banff, a Management Icon
For more information on the Banff Field Trip contact Dr. Liza Piper (epiper@ualberta.ca)
