Enos Mills, a pioneer in the field of heritage interpretation, could not have imagined the many ways NAI would continue his early work. The legacy of his books live on almost a century after he began a nature guide school on the slopes of Long’s Peak in Colorado. There, he gave inspiration to generations of interpreters who would follow in his footsteps. The Enos Mills Fund honors his memory by providing long-term stability for the NAI family of interpreters who continue to help people discover themselves, their history and their natural world. We hope you’ll plan to become a part of this important program at whatever level you find comfortable. We all work together to preserve the integrity of our global heritage resources and the Enos Mills Fund will be an investment in the future of the profession charged with that important mission.
