Work at Dave Brower’s Desk

Be inspired while working at the desk Dave used at Friends of the Earth (San Francisco), and Earth Island Institute (Berkeley). David Brower was the Executive Director of the Sierra Club and Founder of both Friends of the Earth and Earth Island Institute. He fought unbridled development and was the leading publisher of influential environmental books including photo series by Eliot Porter, Ansel Adams, Philip Hyde and François Leydet.

Located Near Research Collections

The Brower Office is located in Golden, Colorado (just west of Denver) at the Fulcrum Publishing headquarters. A fifteen minute drive will bring you to the Denver Public Library which has the papers of many leading conservationists including Arthur Carhart, Gordon Chappell, Dave Foreman, Edward Hilliard, Enos Mills, Olaus Murie, Sigurd Olson, Mo Udall, and Howard Zahniser and records on the Alaskan Wilderness Act, the American Rivers Conference, National Forum on Biodiversity, Nature Conservancy, North American Wildlife Foundation, the Wild Foundation’s Congresses in Alaska and Mexico, Western Resource Conference, and the Wilderness Society.
