Our National Parks, Past and Present: A Conversation<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

December 2, 2024, 6:00 – 7:00PM PST<\/p>\n

The Huntington and the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West presented a program focused on recent campaigns to preserve natural land in the form of national parks and monuments, discussed within the longer history of such efforts. \u00a0How are the goals of the conservation movement and government agencies different now than they were in the late 19th century? How can we continue to improve our interactions with the landscapes that surround us? The newly expanded San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, located in Los Angeles\u2019 backyard, builds on the history established at Yellowstone and Yosemite, but it differs from those parks. In particular, ideas about pristine \u201cwilderness\u201d and Indigenous land rights have evolved in the past 150 years. Together we considered what that evolution means for the 21st century.<\/div>\n
