Diffusing Conservation to Post-Colonial Africa
In 1961, the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) and four other U.S. Interior Department agencies began to diffuse America’s protected-area policies and practices to recently independent African states through the “African Student Program” (ASP). Employing an historical methodology with archival materials, this article argues that the ASP was a path-dependent program that promoted the application of Western management, science, and engineering to na…
Outdoor Imaginaries
Camping is the USA’s fifth most popular outdoor activity. Employing an historical-geographic methodology, this article connects shifting settlement patterns to socio-technological changes and to geographic imaginaries. In particular, three trends shaped camping’s development. First, campers lived in an urban world undergoing modernization so they chose to retreat into nature as a counteractant. Second, camping was pilgrimage, taking campers into …
From Competition to Cooperation
This essay explores the evolving international relationship of the two national park agencies that in 1968 began to offer joint training classes for protected-area managers from around the world. Within the British settler societies that dominated nineteenth century park-making, the United States' National Park Service (NPS) and Canada's National Parks Branch were the most closely linked and most frequently cooperative. Contrary to campfire myths…

Terence Young On Camping and Its Equipment
A Contradiction in Democratic Government’
Camping began in the nineteenth century as an elite form of pilgrimage to the wild, but the arrival of inexpensive automobiles in the early twentieth century greatly expanded camping's social diversity. The change was not universally embraced, especially when African Americans were involved, and the issue came to a head during the 1930s after two racially segregated national parks were opened in southern states. As complaints flowed in, William J…
The Los Angeles River
In the hours following a heavy rainfall, the Los Angeles River can swell from a burbling freshet into a torrent. To witness this is to look on the savage, disinterested face of nature. Conversely, to visit the river on a dry day is to behold the rational ferocity of people. The flora, fauna, meanders, gravel bars, and just about everything else wild have been replaced by a concrete channel. Since the 1980s, a growing multitude has asked how and w…

Modern Urban Parks
In July 1893 the commissioners of the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco reported the creation of a field for athletic games in the park. The new recreational valley was twenty acres in extent, enclosed by slightly rising grounds and studded with pines on three of its sides. . . . [It will be] a beautiful lawn where foot-ball and base-ball will not only be permitted but encouraged. Benches will be placed under the trees, which furnish an inviting …

The narrative takes, and requires the reader to take, at once the long and short view and to move from a process narrative of natural history to individual actions and ideas. Pyne creates some of the problem. He is interested in every detail and every source, speculates on every interesting idea, and ruminates on every insight. The accumulation of (however excellent) mini-essays and diversions …
