"One hundred years from now, as people look back on
our use of this continent, we shall not be praised for our
reckless use of its oil, nor the loss of our forests;
we shall be heartily damned for all these things.
But we may take comfort in the knowledge that we
shall certainly be thanked for the national parks."

~Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, 1931

Women Protecting Wilderness

"To me
nature is a salve for the soul.
I am:
humbled by its majesty
awed by its diversity
inspired by its details
soothed by its beauty
awakened by its scents
intrigued by its adaptability
encouraged by its durability.
It connects me with my ancestors
and gives me hope for the future.
May it stay."
