Natural Wonders of Yosemite One day, John Muir said, “Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity...”-John Muir.(Brainyuote) As John Muir stated, we must experience true wilderness and nature. Yosemite showcases a variety of natural wonders such as waterfalls, Giant Sequoia trees, and rock formations. The Yosemite firefalls, man made and later natural, are part of the natural wonders of Yosemite

I want to start by addressing the topic of productivity. John Muir claims one of the reasons for my termination was due to a significant lack of productivity, yet doesn’t have evidence to support that claim. It’s impossible to falsify productivity due to weekly audits conducted by supervisors, which I review and sign. Enclosed are my productivity records submitted by Ann Marie Hartmann which proves the information on the termination letter was altered and fabricated to intentionally misrepresent

they were before, so he could try and find a new meaning for his life which in turn resulted in his death. When Chris’s name is brought up often so is John muir, a famous explorer and nicknamed “the father of National Parks”. Chris did nothing of the sorts, he left an inconsistent diary and a few pictures, the comparison of the two is unfair towards Muir.

John Muir, from “My First Summer in the Sierra” (p.71) Summary of Yosemite John Muir deeply lives in the solitude of now, and integrates a sense of belonging within Yosemite when he writes, “We are now in the mountains and they are in us” (Muir, p. 72). Muir’s detailed, joyous descriptions of the Yosemite, in the mountains, valleys, forests, Yosemite Creek with falling waters, mountain creatures and plants, erupted in his writing as the very breath of his life, that soaked the exquisite sightings

Conservation and Preservation at the Turn of the 19th Century Missing Works Cited The environmentalist movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries presents a picture of America at the time: torn between the desires to expand while seeking to protect nature. Although all members of the movement sought to protect nature, there were two predominant schools as to how to go about this. In their two philosophies, they created two methods for human interaction with the wilderness. The conservationist

Our world is one. Filled with marvelous sights that would enlighten a person's day our natural habitat, loaded with life and beautiful sights. Gifford Pinchot and John Muir were two naturalist lovers whom worked hard to keep their views of the our natural world alive for generations to come. Both men had similar views on conserving the natural environment, as well as differences in connecting with nature. Gifford Pinchot believes humans should respect the natural environment and keep it conserved

The righteousness it takes to try and give the essence of love through words is insurmountable. John Muir and William Wordsworth articulate relationships with nature similar to that of a human friend; in correspondence, they would use metaphoric expressions and rhythmic structure, respectively, to parallel in their approach. John Muir related the Calypso borealis as “it was more memorable and impressive than any of my meetings with human beings.” Comparatively, William Wordsworth, as a romantic poet

Sierra Club is the largest environmental grassroots movement, focused on preserving the environment through recreation, education, and conservation of natural habitats and resources.

historical sites, and laws, but not all on his own. He worked along side of John Muir, another influential person in the fight for america's environment, on many projects. He even went on a three day camping trip where Muir convinced Roosevelt to add Yosemite valley and the Mariposa grove to Yosemite National park so they would be under federal protection. That camping trip had a lasting impact on Roosevelt. (John Muir (1838–1914), pbs.org.) He was president from 1901 to 1909 and doubled the number
