Let children walk with nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communications of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star and they will learn that death is stingless indeed and as beautiful as life.
John Muir (1838-1914) is the founder of the modern conservation movement. He was the first person to call for practical action to safeguard and cherish the world's wild places. During his explorations of the High Sierra and Alaska (1870 - 1890), Muir became aware of the threats to such wild places, and was the first to clearly call for their conservation. In order to campaign for wild places, Muir helped set up the Sierra Club which today is one of the leading environmental campaigning organisations in the world. His message inspired the founding of the John Muir Trust, Scotland in 1983.
