Happy John Muir Day

Happy John Muir Day!

 

#onthisday in 1838, John Muir, the father of Yosemite National Park and the National Park Service, was born. Muir worked tirelessly to instill the values of the wilderness in people. Believing deeply in the restorative and healing powers of nature, Muir and his followers sparked a movement that still influences the way we appreciate and conserve nature. Pictured here is Muir Woods, a strand of Coastal Redwoods that was preserved outside of San Francisco and named for the venerable conservationist. Thank you, John Muir!
