Questions for discussion: (2) During the last decade or so, have the national parks become more significant in environmental history research and scholarship? Or less significant? Why? Where does environmental history research/scholarship fit, and how important is environmental history in relation to that of other disciplines, considering the complexity of managing and interpreting park resources?

To continue the conversation we began in Portland, we'd like to re-pose some of the high level questions from the NPS Workshop.  Please respond with your thoughts.
