Muir the campaigner – you’re the campaigner!…
Following the AGM – at 7:30pm – there will be refreshments and a short presentation summarising the current plans for the upgrade of the top floor exhibition in John Muir’s Birthplace. The executive summary begins with:
Muir the campaigner – you’re the campaigner! is the working title for a wide-ranging new project which will see John Muir‘s Birthplace in Dunbar relaunched as an ecomuseum, with a new sensory ‘thought and action’ space focussed on the climate emergency. Drawing on the life and writings of the legendary nature conservation campaigner John Muir, this project aims to:
- engage with audiences to imagine a people and planet positive future
- inspire people to take individual and community action
- signpost activities, projects, places and ideas both locally and worldwide
- reach new audiences through greater accessibility
- reinterpret the heritage and legacy of John Muir as a 21st century call to action.
[1] FoJMB Council still has a number of vacancies that really need to be filled so that we can deliver on our plans for the future. Please consider standing for Council as temporary measures are still in place for the following roles: Secretary and Membership Secretary. In addition to these roles it would also be good to ‘recruit’ additional Council members to help reinvigorate FoJMB. Please e-mail nominations to muirbirthplacefriends@gmail.com or propose nominees during the AGM. Many thanks.
