Enos Mills: Rocky Mountain Naturalist (Now You Know Bios)

Environmentalist and preservationist Enos Mills (1870-1922) is regarded as the 'father of Rocky Mountain National Park. Mills and contemporary conservationists such as Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir provide inspiration and role models for the young naturalists of today. ""Enos Mills was a sickly boy who grew into a robust, busy man. He was a naturalist, an author, a national park advocate, a public speaker, a photographer, a businessman, a mountaineer and adventurer, a miner, and a conservationist. Mills's abiding belief was that appreciation of and exposure to nature were essential to the well being of an individual and a nation.""
