From July 30 to August 2, 1998, The University of California will
host a four-day public conference: "Green and Gold: California's
Environments-Memories and Visions." Held on the beautiful Santa Cruz
campus, with its redwoods, fields, and ocean views, it will recapture
California's past environments, explore their transformation, and imagine
their future. Through an examination of the "green culture" of the pre-Gold
Rush era and the formation of the Golden State and its culture of gold,
participants will explore the unique blend of nature and culture that
defines California's past and its future prospects. Exploring the
implications of the 150th anniversary of the 1848 discovery of gold in
California and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the
conference will culminate by looking at the co-mingling of the green and
gold cultures as the millennium approaches. It will be sponsored in part by
the California Council for the Humanities, the American Society for
Environmental History, U.C. Berkeley's College of Natural Resources, U.C.
Santa Cruz's Divisions of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Winslow
Foundation.
