What does it mean to experience the West as truly wild—and what will it take to keep it that way?
Join historian Dr. Brenden Rensink for an engaging exploration of the American West and our evolving relationship with wilderness. Drawing on histories of outdoor experience, recreation, conservation, and the landscapes themselves, Dr. Rensink examines how generations have sought out, understood, and shaped the idea of the “wild” West.
Looking to the future, the conversation will consider the growing challenges facing these treasured places and ask what the history of wilderness can teach us about preserving meaningful encounters with wild landscapes for generations to come.
