Professor Harvey M. Jacobs (Urban and Regional Planning) co-hosted an official delegation from the nation of Trinidad and Tobago who came to UW-Madison for two weeks in August.
The group participated in a specially designed training program on land management organized through the Land Tenure Center.
The delegation received lectures from Jacobs and others, and visited sites throughout the state to see how land management is undertaken by state, county, tribal, and private owners.
The delegation’s goal is to draw on Wisconsin’s experience and the long-standing relationship of the Land Tenure Center with Trinidad and Tobago as they begin a new phase of land management policy and implementation for the 52% of national lands that are publicly owned.
