ASEH's Next Conference - 2009
Paradise Lost, Found, and Constructed:
Conceptualizing and Transforming Landscapes through History
Tallahassee, Florida
February 25 - March 1, 2009
Host: Florida State University
Florida: White sand beaches. High rise condos. Snowbirds. Spring Break. Walt Disney World.
Tallahassee: Long-leaf pine forests. Canopy roads. Quiet rivers and lakes. White sand beaches within reach. Tallahassee provides environmental historians the opportunity to explore another Florida, related to but distinct from the pervasive images of Florida in popular culture.
Nestled in Red Hills Region and located just thirty minutes north of the Gulf of Mexico and thirty minutes south of the Georgia border, Tallahassee features lush topography and a moderate climate. Signature characteristics include Canopy Roads -- giant Live Oak trees with sprawling boughs cloaked in Spanish moss creating a natural canopy -- and year-round blooming seasons. Springtime, which begins in February, bursts with radiant azalea, dogwood, and magnolia blossoms.
Several field trips will showcase the unique aspects of the region’s environmental history.
