For Immediate Release

Photographer Forsberg to address conservation at E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues Simulcast

(Hastings, Neb.) –Michael Forsberg, an acclaimed conservation photographer and Nebraska native, will present a lecture entitled “Pulse of the Plains:  A Photographer’s Journey Connecting Water, Wildlife and Landscape” as part of an E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues.  Hastings College will host a simulcast of the presentation on Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. in the lower level of the Wilson Center (714 E. 9th St.) The event is free and open to the public.  

For 15 years, Forsberg has documented through his photography the Great Plains’ ever-changing water resources.  He served as staff photographer and writer for NEBRASKALAND magazine for six of those years.  

The E.N. Thompson lecture series, which will focus on water and global security throughout the 2011-2012 academic year, is named in honor of E.N. “Jack” Thompson, who served as president of the Cooper Foundation from 1964 to 1990 and as its chairman from 1990 until his death in 2002. Thompson established the series to promote better understanding of world events and issues for all Nebraskans.

The simulcasts, sponsored by the Nebraska Humanities Council and colleges and universities across the state, allow more Nebraskans to have the opportunity to benefit from outstanding speakers and community discussion. Details about the E.N. Thompson Forum are available at http://enthompson.unl.edu.
