The Hidden History Of The Natural Areas Movement And Its Founder

By Chris Malina

Here in Wisconsin, we’re quite familiar with the work of many conservationists - Aldo Leopold, Gaylord Nelson, Sigurd Olson - but there’s another name that should be right up there with all of them: George Fell, who launched the movement to preserve natural areas too small or fragile to qualify as state or national parks. That's according to a guest author, who shares George Fell's story, and the impact his work is still having today in his home state of Illinois and beyond.
