"One who knows the outdoors will make his own appointments in May. From year to year he remembers. For him there are 31 May Days. He needs not to be told what to see, what to listen for, or what the fragrances are. This is the month of life abundant -- life abounding, leaping forth. The essence of the meaning of the name itself is 'to grow.' Nature's celebrations are those we most wish to attend: the trees and flowers in bloom, the birds in song, the insects in almost ceaseless activity, the frogs in good voice, and the mammals in renewed life are inexhaustible sources of interest and delight and revelation." -- Wilderness Act of 1964 author Howard Zahniser, 1936. . . .
