Description:
A letter from Barrington Moore suggesting arguments to Harold Peabody for advancing his campaign against the further construction of roads in Lafayette National Park. Moore argues that while roads are necessary for the park to fulfill its mission of providing access to the public, certain areas must be kept wild, not only for the enjoyment of those seeking solitude in nature but also to serve as natural laboratories for scientists.
