VISIONARY VOICES THEN AND NOW

Visionary Voices Then and Now was an inaugural Starting Conversations series using Living History and Chautauqua performance as a way to creatively engage in dialogue with our rich history.

This program focused on the history of the Conservationist Movement in the United States in the early 20th Century. The leaders of this movement, Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir and Aldo Leopold, came together in a conversation about their work and values. They discussed their philosophies around conservation and land ethics, as well as what they think of the state of environmentalism, naturalism and conservation in the present day.

The conversation was moderated by former USDA Forest Supervisor Heather Provencio.
