Whether we like it or not, the natural and the human environment are inseparable. It would be a great mistake to try to completely erase human traces from any part of the landscape. We need to protect the natural world, but we also need to protect reminders of the human past so that we can learn from them.

Bonnie Stepenoff (b. 1949) American writer, researcher, historian
“Landscapes Remember”
