Brad Stelfox - "Living at the River's Edge"

Bow River Shuttles writes: Brad Stelfox, Landscape Ecologist, ALCES Group, will be one of several speakers featured at the upcoming 'Conservation Symposium', which is part of the Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships & Conservation Symposium in Calgary in September 2013.

"During the extended periods of time, often measured in multiple decades, that occurs between flood events, it is all too easy for generations living in the “gentle times” to forget the lessons learned by past flood survivors. 

Societies in general, and governments specifically, have a responsibility to remember these lessons, and to build policies and infrastructure that intelligently reflect the force and destructive potential of natural systems."
