CONFERENCE THEME

Common Ground acknowledges the origins of parks as common ground for the use of the community. Parks agencies have a critical role to play protecting and maintaining our natural and cultural heritage and building social connections for human well-being. New partnerships are needed to respond to environmental threats and rapid social change. Now, more than ever, we need to find common ground, with each other and with other industry sectors to manage our parks for the future.
