John Burroughs Association
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The John Burroughs Association was founded in 1921 to commemorate the life and works of author/naturalist John Burroughs (1837-1921). Administered out of offices at the American Museum of Natural History, the Association owns the John Burroughs Sanctuary at West Park, in the town of Esopus, New York.[1] The Sanctuary is the site of John Burroughs's cabin, Slabsides, a National Historic Landmark built 1895.[2][3] In addition to maintaining the Sanctuary, the John Burroughs Association publishes a newsletter, The Wake Robin. It also, on an annual basis, presents the John Burroughs Medal for distinguished nature writing at book-length, and another award for essay-length nature writing.[4][5]
