  
Approaching its subjects in fresh, quirky, and surprising ways, Wilderness Heroes explores the devotion and tenacity of decision makers and trailblazers who have made wilderness conservation their lifework. The accomplishments of John Muir, Aldo Leopold, and David Brower are celebrated in this deck of 48 Q&A cards, but the wilderness preservation movement includes countless others less known--some with foxtails in their socks, others suited up for a long day in Washington. You’ll learn who drafted the Wilderness Act, which US president protected the most wilderness, who forged the Appalachian Trail, and much more. (A few antiheroes appear here as well.) Whether shared around the campfire or savored in solitude, this lively, informative deck will enlighten, amuse, and inspire.
