Some of the west’s most notable names in the arts and sciences will convene June 5-7 in California’s remote Surprise Valley to discuss such issues as land conservation and the western water crisis at the Common Ground Symposium.

They include poet Gary Snyder, geologist Eldridge Moores, author Darryl Babe Wilson, publisher Malcolm Margolin and hydro geologist Graham Fogg. The three-day program will also include a geologic field trip conducted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a panel on the use of alternative energy for the benefit of local communities, a mini-film festival featuring “Desert Wars: Water and the West” and an afternoon panel hosted by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy titled “A Regional Look at Local Problems” or “Ranching and Farming — Keeping It Real,” which deals with retaining an agricultural landscape as a viable part of the region’s economy and historic heritage.
