What National Park History is all about

National park history isn't just about the past. It's an important window into the decisions, values, and conflicts impacting public lands today. 
My work connects historical narratives to current issues — privatization, national monuments, wildlife protection, access, and more — in order to understand how each person can advocate for protecting public lands.
