If you’re against John Muir, you’re on the wrong side.

  Hardly. Muir espoused nature free of humans while wandering around landscapes shaped by human hands. He invalidated the people who created the forests he loved, and also drove a wedge between humans and nature. That is not the way forward. Muir is the reason I support other groups besides the Sierra club. My guess is they’ve heard similar stories from other and know they need a change. Read “Tending the Wilds”, for a start.

    > Read “Tending the Wilds”, for a start. Searching for that exact phrase isn't leading me to the resource. Is it "Tending the Wild: Native American Knowledge and the Management of California's Natural Resources"? If not, do you have a link?

      Yes, that’s the one.

        Cool. Do you have any thoughts on the (apparently accompanying?) PBS special?
        • hinkley 6y ago
          I think I forgot that exists. Haven’t seen it. I’ll have to check that out.
