Access a more authentic and complete history of public lands in the United States.

For too long, the conservation narrative has upheld a skewed version of this history, focused on celebrating predominantly white men for discovering and protecting pristine, untouched wilderness. It leaves out atrocities against Native Americans, the original and long-time inhabitants and stewards of these places; acknowledgment of racial segregation and discrimination on public lands; and the contributions of Black, Indigenous and people of color to the conservation movement.
