Charlotte has been lauded as an outdoor-friendly city where over 900,000 people have access to parkland on more than 22,500 acres across Mecklenburg County. Come learn from Fushcia-Ann Hoover, Ph.D., about the history of our local, state and national parks, the Congressional Acts that protect them (and their limitations), and the statute that created the National Park Service. Find out, too, what it means to have public personnel steward the protection and maintenance of public lands. Federal museum curator Phil Varela will join via Zoom. ┃chess.charlotte.edu
