The life and the career of naturalist John Muir come to life through this inspiring and beautiful documentary set against the magnificent landscapes of the American West. The Scottish-born naturalist was one of the first nature preservationists in American history, inspiring others through his writing and his advocacy to keep the wilderness wild. A diversity of images run through the program: the Wisconsin woods of his childhood, his incredible journey on foot through the American South, the Yosemite Valley, the California fruit ranch where he lived with his wife and daughters, the Alaskan wilderness that so attracted him, and the National Parks that he was so instrumental in creating. Running time is 85 minutes. Ages: Appropriate for ages 12 and up. Cost: Free! Donations gratefully accepted. Registration required. To Register: 425-452-6885. Info: 425-452-4195.
