Did you know that Scottish-born naturalist, John Muir came to fully immerse himself in nature because of an accident, where a simple slip of a file, that almost left him blind, caused him to re-evaluate his life?! .
“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to realize that going to the mountains is going home, that wildness is a necessity, and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers but as fountains of life.”
-John Muir
