John Muir was a naturalist and conservationist who advocated for protecting our natural landscapes long before it was fashionable to do so. His efforts helped to create national parks and trails throughout the western U.S. The video below brings Muir to life in charming, animated form that I thought many of my readers would enjoy. It also happens to feature one of his most famous quotes. One that rings true with me on a regular basis. Enjoy!
