"Collecting Testimonials About Wild Nevada"
Scott Slovic, Director, UNR Core Writing Program, English Dept., and Roberta Moore, Ranger (retired), Great Basin National Park

Roberta and Scott will tell some of the stories behind the stories compiled in their 2005 book Wild Nevada: Testimonies on Behalf of the Desert. They will also explain the concept of the "wilderness testimony collection" and offer some examples of how the Great Basin landscape continues to inspire their own writing.
