Natural History Wanderings

LIVE VIA ZOOM TUESDAY AUGUST 22, 2023 AT 5:30 PM PST

In this free webinar, conservationist and writer Jerry Emory discusses his recently published biography “ : The Fight for Wildlife and Wilderness in the National Parks.” Twenty-three-year-old George Meléndez Wright arrived in Yosemite National Park in 1927 to work as a ranger naturalist. He went on to become a visionary biologist who brought new ideas to his role at the National Park Service (NPS), organizing the first science-based wildlife survey of the western parks, and forever changing how the agency would manage public lands and natural resources. Wright was also the first Hispanic person to occupy a professional position in the NPS and he continues to be a celebrated figure among conservationists, wildlife experts, and park managers.
