Jeffrey H. Ryan, The History of U.S. Public Lands

My guest today is Jeffrey H. Ryan. Jeffrey is the author of Appalachian Odyssey and Blazing Ahead in his latest book, This Land Was Saved for You and Me.

Jeffrey introduces us to seven people who were key to forming and preserving America's public lands. Jeffrey tells how these individuals influenced and worked with each other and who they met during their careers.

He writes about the contributions made by Frederick Law Olmsted, Gifford Pinchot, Benton Mackaye, Theodore Roosevelt, Bob Marshall, Aldo Leopold, and Howard Zahniser.

Let's join the conversation.

ABOUT:

TALATERRA combines "tala" (Icelandic for "to speak" and "to talk") with "terra" (Earth)—because speaking for our planet and telling its stories is what environmental educators do.

TALATERRA: to speak Earth.
