Art of the National Parks is a gorgeous book containing more than 450 images created by sixty-nine painters and sculptures. It is a must for anyone who has hiked the trails, watched a sunset, marveled at buffalo herds, or yearned to experience our nation’s mythic and transformative vistas. Biologist, educator, and author Terry Lawson Dunn will share her story of creating this exceptional book.
David Nimkin, Southwest Senior Regional Director for the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) will speak about the ecological, political, and financial crisis facing the National Park System as it approaches its 100th anniversary in 2019, and what citizens can do to increase protection and improve stewardship of the country’s national park treasures. “The significance of our national parks cannot be overstated.” said Nimkin.
