National historic sites commemorate decisive moments in the making of Canada. But seen through an environmental lens, these sites become artifacts of a bigger story: the occupation and transformation of nature into nation. In an age of pressing discussions about environmental sustainability, there is a growing need to know more about the history of our relationship with the natural world and what lessons these places of public history, regional identity, and national narrative can teach us. Nature, Place, and Story provides new interpretations for five of Canadas largest and most iconic historic sites (two of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites): LAnse aux Meadows, Newfoundland  Grand Pr, Nova Scotia  Fort William, Ontario  the Forks of the Red River, Manitoba  and the Bar U Ranch, Alberta. At each location, Claire Campbell rewrites public history as environmental history, revealing the countrys debt to the power and fragility of the natural world, and the relevance of the past to understanding climate change, agricultural sustainability, wilderness protection, urban reclamation, and fossil fuel extraction. From the medieval Atlantic to modern ranchlands, environmental history speaks directly to contemporary questions about the health of Canadas habitat. Bringing together public and environmental history in an entirely new way, Nature, Place, and Story is a lively and ambitious call for a fresh perspective on natural heritage.
