John Muir Trust
Description
The John Muir Trust takes its name and inspiration from John Muir (1838-1914), the pioneering, influential Scots-born American conservationist who was passionate about the wild. Muir dedicated his life to protecting wild places and he campaigned successfully for the establishment of National Parks to safeguard vast tracts of wild lands, including Yosemite Valley in California.
- The John Muir Trust runs the John Muir Award, an educational initiative that encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to connect with, enjoy and care for wild places. Read more at www.johnmuiraward.org.
- We manage the land we own according to our wild land management standards, which focus on habitat improvement and encouraging a more natural landscape and ecosystem. See https://www.johnmuirtrust.org/our-work/land-management for more.
