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.

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?


I think I forgot that exists. Haven’t seen it. I’ll have to check that out.
