Résumé (en anglais)

PART 1. ADOPTING A LANDSCAPE APPROACH - Taking a Landscape Approach to Integrating Nature and Culture /// When I came from New York City to San Francisco in 1955, I had never seen a place so beautiful. This compact city, sparkling between the ocean and the bay, was surrounded by broad tracts of open land, north and south of the Golden Gate, a strait between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean spanned by the Golden Gate Bridge. In 1970, when I sought a community project to balance my psychiatrist husband’s introspective outlook, I met people who wanted to create a national park on the Golden Gate. I was happy to become an advocate for what turned out to be the largest land use conversion in the Bay Area. It is now the 82,000-acre Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). This paper recounts many of the stories of the successful advocacy campaigns that saved the grandeur of the Golden Gate as a national park. Others had tried before 1970 to permanently protect the Golden Gate. When former Sierra Club president Dr. Edgar Wayburn and his neighbor, photographer Ansel Adams, tried to bring the lands at the Golden Gate to the attention of the National Park Service (NPS) in the 1960s, NPS representatives instead asked for their help with the authorization of Point Reyes National Seashore to the north. That campaign was successful in 1962.
