Throughout history, women of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicity have made monumental impacts on National Parks here in the US and throughout the world. But why don't we learn about them? Men like John Muir and Theodore Roosevelt make frequent appearances in our history books when it comes to National Park history, but as the old saying goes - behind every great man is an even greater woman. So in that spirit - ladies, let's get in formation. In honor of Women's History Month we want to share stories a sampling of stories from the great women of the past and present.
Women in Parks Program: The National Park Foundation has launched a fund to support the NPS share a more comprehensive and inclusive American narrative that amplifies the voices of women.
The Thin Green Line: An organization dedicated to protecting nature’s protectors by providing vital support to Park Rangers and their communities who are the front-line of conservation.
