How Should We Treat Our Natural Landscapes?: Paradigms of Environmental Stewardship

Join us for an engaging outdoor session with Tusk & Quill Writer and environmental enthusiast Michael Oberschewen as we explore the evolution of environmental stewardship. Delve into three pivotal paradigms: preservation, conservation, and restoration, and learn about the thinkers who shaped these discussions.

🗺️ Historical Context: Discover how John Muir and Theodore Roosevelt's camping trip in Yosemite in 1903 influenced America's relationship with natural landscapes. These events have sculpted the national park system and continue to provoke discussion about our use of resources versus our desire to preserve natural beauty.

🤝 Activities: After the presentation, participate in simple group activities in the park, followed by a discussion about the lessons these traditions might still communicate today.

🍎 Logistics: We welcome you to bring picnic blankets for seating. If you require alternative seating arrangements, please let us know in advance. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
