SUMMARY:Wild & Wise: 19th Century Women and the Power of Nature
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (National Park Service) Step into sturdy boots and grab an imaginary field journal—it’s time to wander back to the 1800s! Long before hashtags and hiking gear\, adventurous women were roaming forests\, pressing wildflowers\, studying birds\, and turning curiosity into courage. They weren’t just admiring nature—they were helping spark the Naturalist Movement and laying the groundwork for conservation. \nJoin us to uncover the stories of these trailblazing women who transformed gardens\, fields\, and woodlands into spaces of science\, creativity\, and bold new ideas.
