In this episode, Marissa heads to an art museum to ponder how wilderness and nature have been represented by artists like Ansel Adams.
HOW WILD, the new six-part series from KALW's Marissa Ortega-Welch, hits trails around the country, exploring the meaning of wilderness. A century ago, the U.S. set aside the first official wilderness. You'll hear stories from rangers, scientists, hikers, environmentalists, and Tribal leaders as they grapple with the realities of wilderness on a changing planet, and whether the concept of "wilderness" has ever really existed.
