Just over 100 years ago, in a 1912 speech delivered at the Progressive National Convention, Theodore Roosevelt summed up the 20th-century naturalist’s call to action when he told the audience, “There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country.”
What does it mean to be a 21st-century American naturalist? On Tuesday, April 9, join moderator Tom Brokaw and panelists Douglas Brinkley, a Roosevelt biographer; Lisa Graumlich, scientist and dean at the University of Washington’s College of the Environment; Michael Novacek, senior vice president and provost of science at the Museum; and Rick Ridgeway, vice president for environmental initiatives at Patagonia, for Conservation, Wilderness, and the American Dream, a special event about the close links between American identity and natural heritage, as well as the role today’s naturalists can play in conservation.
