An Exploration of National Parks: A Free Program at Canton Public Library
On Tuesday, September 27, at 6:30 p.m., Dr. Richard Benfield, professor emeritus of geography at CCSU, will speak in person on U.S. and some Canadian national parks as well as relevant parks around the world.
Professor Benfield is an expert on national parks in many countries and on garden tourism. He worked with the Canadian National Park system for five years where he wrote the first management plan on the Canmore Corridor, the service area immediately adjacent to Banff National Park. He has studied parks and gardens and their use all over the world and the balance of the tourism industry with park ecology and health.
