Conservation, National Parks, & Life Outdoors

"Rainbow over the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone" by Thomas Moran, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Bequest of Marion H. Conley

This LibGuide provides resources available in the CEI Library and online related to conservation, America's national parks, and outdoor life. Please note, categories overlap, so you'll still find the theme of conservation in many books in the "Yellowstone" category on the "America's National Parks" page, and you'll find national parks mentioned in many of the books on the "Conservation and Conservationists" page.

The image above is a painting (oil on canvas) by Thomas Moran titled "Rainbow over the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone," which hangs in the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. Moran's sketches and paintings helped convince Congress to create Yellowstone National Park in 1872, making it the first national park in the U.S.
