John Muir (1838-1914,) is known as “The Father of our National Parks.” He delivered constant Nature Quotes, and he was one of the most famous and influential naturalist and conservationist in America.

He is renowned for his exciting adventures in California’s Sierra Nevada, and through his world travels searching for nature’s beauty. John Muir constantly informed people about protecting our beautiful natural heritage. The natural beauty of Yosemite, Sequoia, Mount Rainier, the Petrified Forest, and the Grand Canyon National Parks exist largely due to the efforts of John Muir.

Muir was an inspiration to President Theodore Roosevelt and because of him our nation acquired several fine conservation programs.  In modern times you may see a tribute to Muir on the reverse of the California State Quarter.

Some of the Nature Quotes that John Muir is famous for are:
1) – Keep close to Nature’s heart and break clear away once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
2) – I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.
3) – God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
4) - In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

In 1892, John Muir and others founded the Sierra Club, “to make the mountains glad.” John Muir was the Club’s first president, which office he held until his death in 1914.

Muir’s Sierra Club has gone on to help establish a series of new National Parks and a National Wilderness Preservation System.  His life reminds us of the important things that just one person can do.

The following three Initiatives for Conservation currently being promoted by the Sierra Club are:
1 ) – Smart Energy Solutions, to shift away our dependence on fossil fuels to clean renewable energy fuels.
2 ) – Protecting America’s Wildlife and Habitat.
3 ) – Fight Pollution and create safe and healthy communities.

In these days with all the pollutants in the air, and chemicals in the ground water, it’s strange that more people haven’t joined the green movement.  The reason could be that not everyone knows just where to start when it comes to going green.  There is no better place to start than right here.  The Sierra Club is a Not For Profit Corporation and donations are tax deductible.

Because you want a safe and healthy community in which to live and to have smart energy solutions to combat global warming, and an enduring legacy for America’s wild places, then you also should become a member of the Sierra Club.
