Section Overview–Economics, Policy, and Planning

Abstract

Throughout the symposium it seemed that whenever the toughest problems were mentioned, people and their growing impact on the oak woodland ecosystem were at the source. This refrain was heard from nearly every keynote speaker, many of whom claimed that the oak woodlands were currently under the greatest pressure from urbanization. The needs and demands of landowners, stakeholders, and society-at-large were the topic of the Economics, Policy, and Planning technical session.
