The John Muir National Historic Site is located in Martinez, California, approximately thirty- five miles northeast of San Francisco. The park includes the residence of John Muir, America's most famous and influential naturalist and conservationist. As a wilderness explorer, he is renowned for his lone excursions in California's Sierra Nevada region, among Alaska's glaciers, and numerous worldwide travels. As a writer, he has taught the people of his time and ours the importance of experiencing and protecting our natural heritage. The objectives of this CLR are to document the significance of the landscape at John Muir NHS and provide a preservation strategy for its treatment and management. To achieve these goals, the CLR is organized into two volumes that describe the site’s history, provide an inventory and analysis of existing conditions and landscape significance, and recommend treatment actions consistent with historic preservation principles. The CLR is organized into two volumes.
