Wild Thoughts Video 13: Adirondack author and historian Phil Terrie

Join AWA Board members Bill Ingersoll and Pete Nelson as they discuss the meaning and value of wilderness with eminent Adirondack historian Philip Terrie. Phil is professor emeritus of American culture studies, English and environmental studies at Bowling Green State University and is the author of five books on Adirondack history, including the widely-read Contested Terrain. He is working on a new book in which he explores the meaning and import of Article XIV of New York State’s Constitution, the famous “Forever Wild” amendment, and simultaneously reevaluates his own six-decade relationship with wilderness. Enjoy a lively and insightful conversation about reality, imagination and aspiration among three ardent lovers of wild places, as they discuss the Adirondacks’ most precious asset: wilderness.
