"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

My Vision

Scribbled on a scrap of paper, as inspired this day: Everyone has at least 2 trial experiences (opportunities) in the out of doors (or, at least 1 positive) and subsequently pursue experiences at one's desired (and well-informed) frequency and difficulty. No one feels excluded from natural places even if they feel challenged or uncomfortable. Everyone has a baseline feeling of what a positive outdoor experience might be.
