SUMMARY:“Connected by Nature” with Will Whelan
DESCRIPTION:Idaho has an abundance of natural beauty\, from high deserts an
 d open plains scattered with wildflowers to rugged mountain ranges\, toweri
 ng forests\, and crystal clear waters. These remarkable landscapes remain h
 ere for us and for future generations to enjoy thanks to Idaho’s early co
 nservationists\, and to those who carry on that work today.\\n\\nJoin us fo
 r an evening with Will Whelan\, author of the new book "Connected by Nature
 : Sixty Years of The Nature Conservancy in Idaho\," as he shares vivid stor
 ies of the people\, places and pivotal moments that have shaped conservatio
 n across the state.\\n\\nA lifelong conservationist\, historian\, and gifte
 d storyteller\, Will served for 18 years as The Nature Conservancy’s gove
 rnment relations director in Idaho and prior to that spent over a decade wi
 th the Idaho Attorney General’s office. His deep knowledge of and passion
  for Idaho’s landscapes brings this history to life.\\n\\nFor "Connected 
 by Nature\," Will pored over hundreds of archival documents\, sifted throug
 h decades of photographs\, and conducted dozens of interviews. The story of
  conservation that emerged is one of enduring commitment\, demonstrating ti
 me and again just how much depends on the relationship between humans and n
 ature. It shows the profound impact that occurs when passionate people take
  initiative and act creatively. And it reminds us that what may begin as a 
 small-scale effort—protecting a single place or addressing a specific cha
 llenge—can spark momentum that shapes landscapes and communities for gene
 rations to come.\\n\\nFree digital copies of Connected by Nature are availa
 ble to download at preserve.nature.org/page/186626/data/1.
