An Intimate Connection to Five Conservation Visionaries

Week 7 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Turner 105 | Ages 14 and up

John Muir! Henry David Thoreau! Rachel Carson! E.O.Wilson! Tecumseh! Bring these environmental conservationist visionaries into your life and discover some intimate moments that reveal the authenticity of character. Each of these heroes had a unique view of the environment. Each one of these independent thinkers felt a connection to life that was intense both physically and mentally. All of them felt a spirit connection to the earth and attempted to explain it in words. Together they offer us appreciation and inspiration for environmental conservation.
