The Revelator - Hilary Clark

Hilary Clark

worked as a National Park Service ranger at remote desert outposts, national seashores, and other areas across the country for 18 years. In these diverse landscapes, she witnessed nature’s fragility. She also saw the best and worst of humanity. While some park visitors collected trash they did not leave, others desecrated cultural sites and poached wildlife. These experiences further fueled her passion for conservation. Writing is an outlet to share her stories and, perhaps, inspire others to advocate for protecting the other living things with whom we share the planet.
