Protecting America’s public lands begins with love of place. Advocate and wilderness defender Sigurd Olson wrote, “Without love of the land, conservation lacks meaning or purpose, for only in a deep and inherent feeling for the land can there be dedication in preserving it.”
Love of the land leads to conservation literacy. Conservation literacy is a historical understanding that leads to educated and inspired wilderness warriors for the future. It includes an acknowledgement of Native Peoples, including the Anishinabe, in this landscape. We must work together to expand conservation literacy in meaningful ways to ensure this Wilderness and other public lands are protected for future generations.
