Content Description

This collection consists of materials and research in the form of brochures, maps, books, and tapes of interviews concerning the French Regional Nature Park system assembled by William (Bill) McLaughlin of the University of Idaho College of Natural Resources. French Nature Parks were an area of research for Dr. McLaughlin. A regional nature park or regional natural park (French: parc naturel régional or PNR) is a public establishment in France between local authorities and the French national government covering an inhabited rural area of outstanding beauty, in order to protect the scenery and heritage as well as setting up sustainable economic development in the area. A PNR sets goals and guidelines for managed human habitation, sustainable economic development, and protection of the natural environment based on each park's unique landscape and heritage. The parks also foster ecological research programs and public education in the natural sciences. (Wikipedia). There are 49 Regional Nature Parks in France. This collection contains general information about the park system as well as information specific to 18 of the currently existing 49 parks collected by Dr. McLaughlin.

William McLaughlin was a University of Idaho professor and former chairman in the 1980s of the Department of Natural Resources and Society, formally the College of Forestry, who also served as the dean of the College of Natural Resources from 6/2008 to 08/2010. He retired from the University of Idaho in 2014 and was granted the rank of professor emeritus. McLaughlin's legacy involved contributions to natural resource management in the Pacific Northwest, even holding a long-term study in the 1980s of the public use and perceptions on the many scenic rivers in Idaho.
