Escaping the Dark, Gray City
Conservation was inseparable from the reforms that defined Progressive Era America. Not only did conservation produce National Park and Forest Service landscapes, it was also essential to urban reform—everything from city parks to drinkable water to gardening and the abatement of air pollution. Conservation was a vital part of progressive education, workplace health and safety, and even architecture (bungalows were conservationists' favorite). Co…

Bird Day for Kids
Popular education was one of the most important elements of Progressive Era conservation. But what kind of education produced conservationists? Bird Day was typical of efforts in popular education in that it attempted to inculcate both moral passion and scientific objectivity in children and the wider public. Bird Day highlights the uneasy relationship between progressive conservationists and objective, quantifiable science, particularly the stru…

Right-wing politicians and think tanks have used the legacy of climate research strategically to deny the current crisis by falsely depicting greenhouse science as uncertain and contradictory. The corporate media has largely accepted this frame of the issue. This history helps acc…
