John
Muir
and
Gifford
Pinchot
have
often
been
seen
as
the
embodiment
of
conflicting
environmental
philosophies.
Muir,
the
preservationist
and
co-founder
of
the
Sierra
Club.
Pinchot,
the
first
chief
of
the
U.S.
Forest
Service
advocating
sustainability
in
timber
harvests,
instituted
conservation.
The
idealistic
Muir
saw
nature
as
something
special
and
separate;
the
pragmatic
Pinchot
accepted
that
people
used
the
products
of
nature.
The
environmental
movement’s
original
sin,
and
the
root
of
many
of
it's
difficulties,
was
its
inability
to
reconcile
these
two
viewpoints—and
these
two
men.So
how
was
it
that
Muir
and
Pinchot
went
camping
together—and
delighted
in
each
other's
company?
Does
this
mean
that
the
seemingly
irreparable
divide
in
environmental
ethos
is
not
as
unbridgeable
as
it
might
seem?
The
perceived
rivalry
between
these
two
men
has
obscured
a
fascinating
and
hopeful
story.
Muir
and
Pinchot
actually
spent
years
in
an
alliance
that
lead
to
the
original
movement
for
public
lands.
Their
shared
commitment
to
the
glories
of
natural
landscapes
united
their
disparate
talents
and
viewpoints
to
create
a
fledgling
and
uniquely
American
vision
of
land
ownership
and management.
