Wildlands Philanthropy is a testament to what one person can do to save the Earth¡¦s natural lands.
In writing the book, author Tom Butler immersed himself in the creation stories of U.S. parks, refuges, and nature preserves established over the span of a century, finding in these tales of struggle and success both inspiration and a greater appreciation for the way protected areas have enriched the American experience.
From a grandmother in Kentucky who saved her family farm to conservationist Congressmen to far-flung beaches and high deserts, the book reminds readers of what John Muir said: ¡§In God's wildness lies the hope of the world ¡X the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.¡¨ Stunning photographs and compelling stories come together in this marvelous book, inspiring readers to actively engage in saving the planet, one piece of land at a time.
