Ed Zahniser, son of Howard Zahniser (the father of The Wilderness Act), and an eloquent and passionate Wilderness champion in his own right, gave a powerful talk, "Born To Be Wild: The 1964 Wilderness Act and the Appalachian Trail," in Roanoke at the Taubman Museum of Art on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014.  His talk was part of the Roanoke Weekend for Wilderness sponsored by the Appalachian Trail Conference.  Ed Zahniser has graciously allowed the VaWild50 committee to share his inspiring speech.
