I'm transitioning towards using my exploration of the social views on environmental importance in the U.S. through looking at National Parks to consider the differences between Eastern and Western America. My ultimate goal would be to use this debate to answer which natural areas of the U.S. people think of as most important.
I plan to examine cultural and social ties to nature in various areas of the country.
- Southeast
- Appalachia
- Northeast
- New England Coast
- Midwest
- Southwest
- Pacific Northwest
- California Coast
Define
important: necessary to the identity of the country, helpful from an ecological standpoint, sentimentally important, historically important, important for international relations
natural areas: specifically parks, but also just the biomes that characterize different parts of the U.S.
