Wallace Stegner’s poetic appeal for robust and comprehensive conservation efforts of America’s wild lands gave the film maker pause. In this current political climate Stegner’s words began to take on new meaning. His plea for what wilderness can do for us is more relevant now than ever. Thousands of acres of our remaining public lands are threatened everyday. We need to stand together to protect America’s wild lands from being sold off to the highest bidder. We must preserve wilderness as a “means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope.”
