Photo by @katieorlinsky / Hello from the Gila Wilderness (pronounced Hee-La), where I recently returned from a horseback pack trip into the backcountry with writer Peter Gwin and Overheard at National Geographic podcast producer Brian Gutierrez. The Gila is the first designated wilderness area in the United States. This milestone of American conservation was created in 1924 thanks in large part to Aldo Leopold, a philosopher, writer, forester, and outdoor enthusiast considered by many to be the father of wildlife ecology. Leopold envisioned wilderness as a place to be protected both for, and from, humans, “Wilderness is the one kind of playground which mankind cannot build to order…. I contrived to get the Gila headwaters withdrawn as a wilderness area, to be kept as pack country, free from additional roads, ‘forever.'” Meanwhile the Gila’s history began long before Aldo Leopold, and the region’s future is far more complex than he could have ever imagined. I’ll be sharing a sneak peek over the next few days!
