The Wallace Stegner Center 31st Annual Symposium - America’s Public Lands: At a Crossroads?
DATE: Thursday, March 19 2026 - Friday, March 20 2026
TIME: 8:00 am - 5:00 pm MST
LOCATION: College of Law and Virtual Event
ABOUT THE EVENT:
The Wallace Stegner Center’s 31st annual symposium will focus on one of the most pressing issues of our time: the future of our public lands.
This is a vital issue locally and regionally. From stark shifts in law and policy regulating the designation and use of public lands to ongoing demographic and economic changes in the American West, from conflicts over recreation to wildfire and other growing threats, the way we use and protect public lands continues to rapidly evolve as the region does too.
The 31st annual Stegner Symposium will shine a bright light on all these issues and more. The symposium features leading scholars, advocates, and constituents in standalone addresses, panel discussions, and compelling presentations. Together, speakers will highlight the multiple—and competing—demands on public lands, with a focus on how to preserve the places that are arguably our greatest heritage as Americans.
