約翰‧繆爾(John
Muir)及喜艾拉山
1869年7月19日
從一開始，繆爾就是環境的保護者；1876年時，他贊成通過聯邦森林保護計劃；1892至1914年間，他身任高山社(Sierra
Club)的首任社長，高山社是一個環境保護組織。他在文章及著作中所敘述的優勝美地的自然美景，喚起大眾支援1890年的優勝美地國家公園的興建及1905年的公園擴建。下一次，當您造訪公園時，好好的環顧四周；想想看，第一次看見這個公園的人會有什麼感受？您會如何形容它？
From the start, Muir was an early defender of the environment. In 1876 he supported the adoption of a federal forest conservation program. From 1892 to 1914 he was the Sierra Club's first president. The Sierra Club is an environmental organization. His articles and books describing Yosemite's natural wonders inspired public support for establishment of Yosemite National Park in 1890 and expansion of the park in 1905. Next time you visit a park, take a good look around. How do you think someone who was seeing it for the first time would feel? How would you describe it?
