James Feldman argues convincingly that such places provide the opportunity to rethink the human place in nature. The Apostle Islands are an ideal setting for telling the national story of how we came to equate human activity with the loss of wilderness characteristics when in reality all of our cherished wild places are the products of the complicated interactions between human and natural history."--pub. desc.A Storied Wilderness traces the complex history of human interaction with the Apostle Islands. In the 1930's, resource extraction made it seem like the islands' natural beauty had been lost forever. But as the island forests regenerated, The ways that people used and valued the islands changed--human and natural processes together led To The re-wilding of the Apostles. In 1970, The Apostles were included in the national park system and ultimately designated as the Gaylord Nelson Wilderness."The Apostle Islands are a solitary place of natural beauty, with red sandstone cliffs, secluded beaches, and a rich and unique forest surrounded by the cold, blue waters of Lake Superior. But this seemingly pristine wilderness has been shaped and reshaped by humans. The people who lived and worked in the Apostles built homes, cleared fields, and cut timber in the island forests. The consequences of human choices made more than a century ago can still be read in today's wild landscapes.Weyerhaeuser environmental book.Restoration ecologyWisconsinApostle Islands National LakeshoreLake ecologyWisconsinApostle Islands National LakeshoreLakesManagementWisconsinApostle Islands National LakeshoreApostle Islands National Lakeshore (Wis.)HistoryApostle Islands National Lakeshore (Wis.)ManagementApostle Islands National Lakeshore (Wis.)Environmental conditionsElectronic books.Restoration ecologyLake ecologyLakesManagement333.73/15Feldman James W866254Cronon William10674MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456813003321A storied wilderness1933313UNINA
