Mr. Parker is a strong proponent of
the Trust’s mission “The
development of private lands within
wilderness areas, and the construction
of roads to get to them, are significant
threats to lands that deserve the highest
protection citizens and Congress can
give them,” said Parker. “I’m
very pleased to be part of an organization
that solves this problem in a way that
is fair to everyone.”
