   Extractions: Ecology Hall of Fame Muir Biography Extracts ... Web Links In1892, John Muir wrote to the editor of Century Magazine, "Let us do something to make the mountains glad." So they founded the Sierra Club, the first major organization in the world dedicated to using and "preserving" wild nature. It is from this act that the modern Ecology Movement was born. Throughout his life, Muir was concerned with the protection of nature both for the spiritual advancement of humans and, as he said so often, for Nature itself. This dual vision still informs the ecology movement and inspires millions to reform their thought and minds, to orient themselves as part of nature. Though the arguments in favor of ecological thinking are often couched in scientific terms, the basic impetus remains as Muir stated it: "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything in the universe."

   Extractions: JOHN MUIR (1838-1914) John Muir, father of the American nature preservation movement, founded the Sierra Club and initiated the creation of National Parks System, which became the most important model for the global National Parks movement. Born April 21, 1838, in Scotland, Muir immigrated with his family to southeastern Wisconsin as a boy of 11. Early on he showed a genius for technological invention, leading to studies in the natural sciences at the University of Wisconsin in the early 1860s. But in 1867, after nearly loosing his sight in an industrial accident, Muir turned from his technological path and focused all his attention on his foremost love since childhood, wild nature. By his late twenties, he began experiencing epiphanies in the wilderness, leading him inexorably toward a biocentric and pantheistic worldview. In his 1868 Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf , Muir noted that, contrary to Christian notions that the natural world was provided by a sovereign God for human use, nature was indifferent or fundamentally hostile to humans. Muir walked west, spending many years becoming intimate with the Sierra Nevada mountains, as sheepherder, mountaineer, and naturalist. But by 1878, Muir had married and settled down on his wife's ranch in California's central valley, never again to spend extended time in his beloved mountains. Somehow his mountain experiences sustained his passions for the rest of his life. By 1901, although still cloaked in theistic language, Muir's pantheism was clearly established, woven through many of his writings. By the time of his death in 1914, shortly after the damming of the Sierra Nevada's Hetch Hetchy valley (which he likened to the desecration of a holy temple), Muir had transformed public discourse over environmental issues.

   Extractions: The John Muir Exhibit features the life and legacy of John Muir: naturalist, writer, conservationist, and founder of the Sierra Club John Muir (1838-1914) was America's most famous and influential naturalist and conservationist. He has been called "The Father of our National Parks," "Wilderness Prophet," and "Citizen of the Universe." He once described himself more humorously, and perhaps most accurately, as, a "poetico-trampo-geologist-botanist and ornithologist-naturalist etc. etc. !!!!" As a wilderness explorer, he is renowned for his exciting adventures in California's Sierra Nevada, among Alaska's glaciers, and world wide travels in search of nature's beauty. As a writer, he taught the people of his time and ours the importance of experiencing and protecting our natural heritage. His writings contributed greatly to the creation of Yosemite, Sequoia, Mount Rainier, Petrified Forest, and Grand Canyon National Parks. His words and deeds helped inspire President Theodore Roosevelt's innovative conservation programs, including establishing the first National Monuments by Presidential Proclamation, and Yosemite National Park by congressional action. In 1892, John Muir and other supporters formed the Sierra Club "to make the mountains glad." John Muir was the Club's first president, an office he held until his death in 1914. His last battle to save the second Yosemite, Hetch Hetchy Valley, failed. But that lost battle ultimately resulted in a widespread conviction that our national parks should be held inviolate. Many proposals to dam our national parks since that time have been stopped because of the efforts of citizens inspired by John Muir, and today there are legitimate proposals to restore Hetch Hetchy. John Muir remains today an inspiration for environmental activists everywhere.

    Extractions: Enjoying the hobby of “inventing,” John Muir once created an alarm clock to dump him out of bed at a designated time. He also invented a machine that doubled a broom factory’s production. He could have had a good living designing efficient machines, but his true interest was the wilderness and how to protect it. This program emphasizes the importance of protecting the environment. Classroom activities include having your students conduct a debate over the future of a hypothetical rural area.

    Extractions: The power of imagination makes us infinite. When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike. The mountains are fountains of men as well as of rivers, of glaciers, of fertile soil. The great poets, philosophers, prophets, able men whose thought and deeds have moved the world, have come down from the mountains.

He was an influential conservationist, who worked to preserve wilderness areas and wildlife from commercial exploitation and destruction. His efforts helped to establish Yosemite National Park and Sequoia National Park, both in California. Many natural sites have been named in his honor, including Muir Woods National Monument, a virgin stand of redwoods, near San Francisco, California. Muir was born in Scotland in 1838. His family immigrated to the United States when he was 11 years old and settled on a farm near Portage, Wisconsin. Muir attended the University of Wisconsin from 1860 to 1863 but did not graduate. When he left college, he took extensive walking trips to study nature, especially plants. In 1867 he made a walking trip from Indianapolis to the Gulf of Mexico to observe the plants, animals, and physical features of the country. During this trip Muir kept extensive journals, which were published after his death as A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf In 1868 Muir went to Yosemite Valley in California and explored and studied the area for the next six years. He was the first to conceive the theory that the Yosemite Valley was formed by glacial erosion. During this time he also studied glaciers in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In 1879, while exploring Glacier Bay, Alaska, he sighted the glacier that now bears his name, the Muir Glacier.
