RESULTS of the ICEHO SURVEY
Over this past northern summer, we surveyed “themembers of our members” – the individual
members of the many societies, centers, networks
and institutions that make up ICEHO. We wanted
to see how we could better serve the international
community of environmental historians.
The results were encouraging – both in the numberof respondents and the feedback offered. There
were 186 responses in all, representing a wide
range of associations across the globe, withmembers of AEAEH (45 respondents), ASEH (37),the EHN (29), ESEH (23), FHS (21), and SOLCHA (19)leading the way. (Many respondents weremembers of more than one.)Asked how their associations currently use ICEHO,
about 40% of respondents admitted they didn’tknow – which is good for us to know. The survey
served as a means of introducing ourselves to suchmembers, and we hope it will get them and theirassociations thinking about what more we can dotogether. Many others talked about the World
Congresses of Environmental History, the website,
networking opportunities, and, we are happy to note,
this Bulletin.
Since so many environmental historians know of ICEHO
by way of the World Congresses, we expected a majorityof respondents to have attended 1 or 2 of the first
Congresses, but only 38% had. That seems anencouraging sign of outreach, beyond the WCEH. Asked
if they planned to attend the WCEH in Florianopolis,
Brazil in 2019, only 20% gave a firm yes (57% were notyet sure). This reminds us that attending aninternational conference – particularly in the global
South – is an undertaking for members of ourcommunity – and perhaps especially for many in the
global South.
We ended the survey asking how ICEHO can better
serve the global environmental history community. (Ouractivities, we noted, are primarily funded by dues paidby our member associations and institutions, ranging
from $100-$1000/year.) There was lots of interest in
having us strengthen our online presence: 76%
mentioned aggregating news of events, calls for
proposals, etc. that our member associations provide;
55% mentioned an online forum for international
scholars; 44% called for an online journal. Others (53%)
asked us to provide or facilitate travel grants to attend
the WCEH. A minority (11%) warned us not to expand
activities at all, but instead focus on organizing andhosting the WCEH. There were also 34 thoughtful,detailed textual responses to this final question.
All in all, we found the responses to this question very
useful for planning purposes. For instance, we areencouraged by the community’s interest in seeing us
expand our online presence as a means of pulling ourmember organizations and global field together – but
we also take seriously your concerns that starting upsuch online initiatives require a long-term plan andcommitment, constantly new content, and theassurance that we will not reinvent an existing product(and, worse, compete with one of our organizations).
Thanks to everyone who responded to the survey. It’s
given us lots to think and talk about!
Congratulations to Gretel Evans of
Melbourne, Australia, who was the winner of the ICEHOMember Survey door prize! She has won two books ofher choosing from the Cambridge University Press
Studies in Environment and History series.
And as a treat, the press is offering us a limited time
20% discount on all books in the series! Thanks,
Cambridge University Press, for your support of ICEHOand the international environmental history
community.

Some other ideas for ICEHO comefrom our Board Members James
Beattie, Shen Hou and Sidd Krishnan,
who introduce themselves here:
My name is James Beattie
and I am Associate Professorof History and Director of
the Historical Research Unit,
University of Waikato,(Member of ICEHO). I direct
the new Environmental
History and Garden History
Research Unit. I am ahistorian of gardens, empire,environment, and Chinese
art collecting.
My latest co-edited book (withLiu, Ts’ui-jung) is Environment,
Modernisation, andDevelopment in East Asia
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2016), andI’ve established twoenvironmental history journals,
including International Review ofEnvironmental History. I am also
founding co-editor of the
Palgrave World Environmental
History Book Series
I am committed to developing environmental history aroundthe world and expanding membership of the ICEHO beyond
Europe and North America. The statistics are telling in respectof the need to reach out to ‘the rest of the world’. In Nov
2015, only 7 of 31 ICEHO member organisations were nonNorth American or European (Asia, 2; Africa, 1; Australia/New
Zealand, 3; Central America 1). Here are some other ideas:
1. Developing interest in the ICEHO organisation in China,
primarily through my associations with the Chinese Academyof Social Science, Tsinghua University, Academia Sinica(Taiwan) among others, and Oceania Representative on the
Association of East Asian Environmental History.
2. New Zealand and Australia: Environmental history is verystrong in the region, but we would welcome more ICEHO
memberships.
3. Raising the general profile of the ICEHO through distributionof information about it at conferences in the region and alerts
to the webpage.
4. Actively seeking sponsorship for book prizes awarded by
ICEHO for various categories (eg articles by graduate students
in environmental history journals).
5. Adding further links to activities and podcasts on the ICEHO
website.

Shen Hou is associate
professor in the History
Department of Renmin
University of China, Beijing,and deputy director of its
Center for EcologicalHistory. She studied American
environmental history atUniversity of Kansas, worked
as a fellow at the Rachel
Carson Center, Munich, andhas been teaching in Beijing forthe past eight years. For
almost two decades, she has
been roaming between
continents, finding in every
place a certain intellectual
home. And always she has felt that being an environmental
historian has given her a legitimate reason to indulge her love
for nature and culture. Her first book was The City Natural:
Garden and Forest Magazine and the Rise of American
Environmentalism, (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2013). She
has also published more than thirty articles and translations
on environmental history in Chinese and English. Right now,
she is working on two book projects in Chinese: anenvironmental history of Boston and a general urban
environmental history of the US since 1800.

As a board member of the ICEHO, Hou promotes thefield in China and Asia through the CEH, one of the
major centers for environmental history in Asia. At thesame time she tries to introduce foreign scholarship on
environmental history (English and non-English works)
into China through her contacts with major Chinese
publishers and to introduce important Chinese works inthe field to the rest of the world through different
channels. Her colleagues and she are also consideringdeveloping a proposal to host the 4th world congress ofenvironmental history in 2024.
From Siddharta Krishnan.
Call me Sidd. I have trained
as a sociologist but havecome to believe that historyis the sociology of the pastand sociology is the historyof the present.
To understand what I contribute as a member of ICEHO,
you need understand my world. ATREE is a disciplinary
medley and co-faculty include conservation biologists,hydrologists, ecological economists, political ecologists
and climate scientists. So, it is from an interdisciplinary
perspective, gained individually, institutionally, andpolitically that I propose the following for the ICEHO.

(1) Build upon interdisciplinary traction in India
for membership and networking with the ICEHO(2) Promote environmental interdisciplinarity
within ICEHO

Environmental history, like environmental anthropology
or environmental sociology, can gain global and regional
academic, political and social relevance only if it seeks
out and engages in cross disciplinary dialogue andaction. Environmental challenges, whether the
degradation of commons, climate change, or species
loss require environmental and ecological social andnatural sciences to research, teach and outreach
together. In consultation with other Board members, I
shall strive to initiate dialogues, in the ICEHO bulletin
and web site and what other social media platform wemay patronize, and in workshops and the next Congress,
between environmental historians and institutions, andother fields of environmental and ecological scholarship.
One focus isin getting
environmenta
l historians
interested inpolicy andpolicy makers
interested inenvironmenta
l history.
The ‘here and now’ impacts of environmental change
trigger national, regional and global policy activity. But
environmental history can by itself or in partnershipprovide historical instructions on consequences ofpolicies. Valuation of forest resources for instance is anacademic and policy fad propelled by a partnership
between ecologists and ecological economists. But for
instance in India as with any other British colony, theforest crisis set in when colonial policy put a value onwood, i.e. timber in the first instance and beganconserving forests for commerce.

Upcoming Conferences

KNOWING NATURE: The
Changing Foundations ofEnvironmental Knowledge
An international conference to be held in Beijing

Renmin University of China
25-27 May 2017
Co-Sponsored by the Rachel Carson Center for Environment
and Society, Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, and theCenter for Ecological History, Renmin University of China,

Beijing, with the collaboration of the Max Planck Institute for
the History of Science, Berlin

Who knows nature best? Over the past 10,000 years
competing communities of knowledge have evolved,
each with formalized standards and processes. Peasantshave competed against craftsmen, religious leaders, andurban experts. In modern societies based on science andtechnology, the claims to knowledge have changed evenmore dramatically, although scientific knowledge stillcompetes with other bodies of knowledge. And always,
who gets to define knowledge can have profoundconsequences for the natural world.
For our conference we seek proposals that examine
what has been seen and understood as measurable,
speculative, safe or unsafe and how scale (oflandscapes, research projects etc.) can affect knowledge
production. We welcome proposals on the rise of new
fields of knowledge about nature and the environment
and their search for disciplinary and institutional
stability. Our conference will seek to move beyond
simple dichotomies (modernity vs. tradition, science vs.
religion, folk wisdom vs. urban ignorance), to develop
comparisons that cross national boundaries, and tobring neglected parts of the globe and time into view.
This conference is open to all ranks of scholars, from
graduate students to senior professors. Paper proposals
should be one-page long (or about 300 words) and include a
title and a one- or two-page CV by 1 January 2017.
Successful proposals will be announced around 1 February,and complete drafts of papers (minimum of 5,000 words in
English or the equivalent in Chinese characters) will be
required by 1 May 2017. All papers will be circulated to theparticipants in advance and will not be orally presented during
the conference.
Travel expenses for scholars living outside of China will bereimbursed by the Rachel Carson Center. Scholars living within
China should depend on their own universities for covering
travel expenses. For all participants, hotel accommodations forfour nights and all meals will be covered by Renmin Universityof China.
Following the conference, we will organize a group field trip to
the Great Wall as a site and symbol of what Joseph Needhamcalled “science and civilization in China.”

New
Film Explores
GermanAmerican
Connections in
AmericanConservation
History
The Forest History Society has produced a new
documentary film about German forester Carl
Alwin Schenck and the birth of American forestry.
America’s First Forest: Carl Schenck and the
Asheville Experiment is the first documentary film
to examine the pivotal role that the Biltmore
Estate’s chief forester Carl Schenck and America’s

first school of forestry played in American
conservation history.
The film tells the story of the birth of forestry in America
through the engaging life and work of Carl Schenck andhis Biltmore Forest School, which was located on George
Vanderbilt’s Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.
Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted urged hisclient Vanderbilt to employ a forester to undertake
large-scale sustainable forest management. In 1892
Vanderbilt hired Gifford Pinchot as his estate forester todevelop and initiate a plan. When Pinchot left three
years later, Dr. Carl Alwin Schenck, a German forester,
succeeded him and began applying what he had learnedin Germany to America’s forests. In response torequests from his apprentices to teach them forestry
and the lumbering business, Schenck established the
Biltmore Forest School in 1898, the first forestry
program in the United States. It was patterned after theGerman meisterschule, or “master school,” a one-year
program that mixed both theoretical and practicaltraining. During its 15 years of operation, the school
turned out nearly 400 graduates. Many alumni went on
to play leading roles in America forestry by working as
government or industry foresters or educating the next
generation of foresters. The U.S. Congress has preserved
the school’s buildings and grounds as the beautiful
Cradle of Forestry in America National Historic Site on
the Pisgah National Forest.
Left: Schenck teaching in
the forest.

These critical events in American conservation history
are captured in the 50-minute film America’s First
Forest, now available on DVD. The disc includes a 28minute adapted version of created for classroom use,
First in Forestry: Carl Alwin Schenck and the Biltmore
Forest School. The two films combine archival photos
and film footage with re-creation footage and interviews
with experts including Pinchot biographer Char Miller
and FHS historian James Lewis. The Forest History

Society is developing teaching materials so that the film
may be used for environmental education purposes fordifferent age levels.
The film and Carl Schenck’s memoir upon which it isbased may be purchased through the film website at

Inauguration Ceremony

The symposium included keynote speeches by José
Manuel Naredo Pérez (Spain), Teresa Rojas Rabiela(México) and Víctor Toledo (Mexico), plus an interestingplenary discussion on environmental conflicts withpresenters from Spain, Mexico, and Argentina. The
topics addressed in the conference varied widely. There
were several panels on cities, some dealing withparticular issues such as disasters, health, andagroecology. Panels on conservation also figured
prominently in the program. The group on Rivers, which
formed during Solcha’s first graduate school in 2012, put
together three sessions. While the concepts oflandscapes and frontiers continue to guide work on
Latin American environmental history, environmental
conflict was another important focus within themeeting. Among the novelties were panels on animals
and soils.

Solcha’s next symposium, in 2018, will be hosted by
the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica in its Liberia
campus (Guanacaste province) and will be organizedby Wilson Picado and his team. The exact dates will beannounced soon.

Riches of Nature, Limits of Nature:
Donald Worster and Environmental History
Report from Shen Hou on an International
Conference held In Beijing, China, June 26-28, 2016
In June 2016 the Center for Ecological History(ICEHO member) along with the School of History
at Renmin University of China, hosted an academic
conference honoring doyen of environmental
history, Donald Worster. The theme was inspiredby the publication of his latest book entitled
Shrinking the Earth: The Rise and Decline ofAmerican Abundance (Oxford UP, 2016).

The CEH invited more than two dozen
environmental historians (including many of
Worster’s former graduate students) from all over
the world to thank him for his stimulating example
and to present him with the long-term effects of
his writings and teaching. More than 60 Chinese
scholars also participated in the conference.
The conference was kicked off by the keynote
address “How Vulnerable Is Our World:
Environmental Sustainability and Slow Hope for the
Future” by director of the Rachel Carson Center in
Munich, Christof Mauch, who challenged theaudience with growing evidence of global
environmental vulnerability and suggested how toframe that depressing news with new narratives of“slow hope” to build a common planetary future.
Over the next two days, various sessions discussed
research trends in environmental history, highlighting
Don’s inspiration in different directions. Contributions
ranged from the current state and future of the field tothe relationship between nature and capitalism, fromthe history of environmentalism to immigration andempire construction, from urban environmental history
to such material subjects as sewage, manure, water, andenergy, and from the history of ideas to the history ofwar. All of the papers revealed how the work of Worster
has extended the discipline’s influence and creativity
within both US and Chinese historical scholarship.
Many of the papers will appear in a festschrift volume
being edited by Mark Hersey and Theodore Steinberg.
On the last day, the final round table discussion focusedon the definition, approaches, and potentials of“planetary history”—a phrase introduced by Worster in
his 1988 article “Doing Environmental History.” In it hehad suggested, nearly thirty years ago, a morecomprehensive, ecological way of doing world history,
including all organic and non-organic entities on theplanet and emphasizing their interaction in shaping
history. Concluding papers were delivered by the CEH’s
director Xia Mingfang, and the University of Wisconsin’s
William Cronon, which brilliantly assessed the newperspective on history and analyzed Worster’s
contributions and achievements.

The conference showcased the global spread and impact ofenvironmental history through many individuals and their far
flung networks, as well as the close relationship ofinternational environmental history organizations represented
by ICEHO. For the full program please visit
