  • To provide an opportunity for groups expressing concern for the rights of all living systems (including groups addressing international environmental and agricultural problems) to present ideas and information.
  • To provide a forum for scheduled presentations for these groups.
  • To accommodate activities, including those for profit, that are compatible with the area
