Enjoy the last daily announcement video for the year!

June 9th each year commemorates the birthday of the funny animated cartoon character, Donald Duck. Donald Duck made his first screen debut on June 9, 1934, in The Wise Little Hen.

Usually wearing a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie, Donald Duck is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech along with his mischievous and irritable personality. He has appeared in more films than any other Disney character. Donald was also declared in 2002 by TV Guide as one of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time.

John Muir (April 21, 1838 - December 24, 1914) who spent much of his childhood in Wisconsin, is also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks." He was an influential Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the U.S. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley and Sequoia National Park, and his example has served as an inspiration for the preservation of many other wilderness areas.

Florence Bascom (July 14, 1862 – June 18, 1945) was a pioneer for women as a geologist and educator in the 1800s. Bascom became an anomaly in the 19th century when she earned two bachelor's degrees. Earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1882, and a Bachelor of Science in 1884 both at the University of Wisconsin. After earning her doctorate in geology, in 1896 Bascom became the first woman to work for the United States Geological Survey as well as being one of the first women to earn a master's degree in geology. Bascom was known for her innovative findings in this field and led the next generation of female geologists.

Finally, Aldo Leopold (January 11, 1887 - April 21, 1948) of Sand County Almanac fame, was a highly influential Wisconsite responsible for influencing generations to get outside and to conserve our natural spaces. He is considered the father of wildlife ecology and the United States Wilderness System! His work has influenced people around the world to live on the land without spoiling it! People have also appreciated resting on a bench he designed, the “Leopold bench.” Once you know what the classic design looks like, you’ll start to see them everywhere!

We may not all be famous leaders, but we all have the opportunity to get outdoors and to make the world a better place. We are lucky to live in an area with natural areas such as Lapham Peak and Retzer Natural Area and we all have a responsibility to keep our area healthy and clean for future generations to enjoy.
