We discuss the pivotal role of naturalist John Muir and early conservationists, who advocated for the preservation of America's wilderness. We highlight the top 5 most popular national parks and tell you why they were even created in the first place. The episode also delves into the contributions of Theodore Roosevelt and a few other key Presidents, who played important roles and helped expand the park system and create the governing bodies who protect it today.
