Bring a blanket or lawn chair and hang out for a cool conversation happening in one of the coolest places in Rapid City tonight! 🌱☀️🌻

Join us at the downtown wild oasis known as Trinity Eco Prayer Park next Thursday (Aug 27) at 7 pm for Philosophy in the Park with Mines Professor Richard Burgess

Dr. Burgess will talk for 15-20 minutes and then lead small group discussion about how we can live together and share as a community in the best ways we can.

He will present about how common resources, such as parks, have certain innate features that can facilitate overuse/abuse. Please join us for a discussion of the dynamics of commons resource systems and how we can utilize these within their sustainable yield.

***Please bring your own chair or blanket to sit on!***
