In Person and On-Demand
Today, we take places like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier National Parks for granted, but their creation was made possible by a small group of late 19th-century conservationists who recognized the value of preserving public lands. This course highlights figures such as John Muir, George Grinnell, Gifford Pinchot, and Theodore Roosevelt, who fought special interests to protect these natural treasures for everyone.
Ellen Davis retired in 2021 after a distinguished career in public relations and marketing for various colleges and universities across Texas. Her interest in the environmental movement began in 1989 when she joined the Sierra Club. Ellen Davis is now teaching her fourth class for Lifelong Learners GTX.
