Hall was the first chief naturalist for the National Park Service, and was an explorer and educator. During the Great Depression, Hall organized hundreds of academics and volunteers from across the country to participate in the ambitious exploration of a 3,000-square-mile area of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona that was all but unknown except to the native tribes.

Hall, and the author of the award-winning book \u201cLandscapes On Glass,\u201d with a foreword by former President Bill Clinton. Turner is a citizen historian and director of The Lost Files Project, a historic program based on newly discovered files from Hall\u2019s service in the National Park Service.<\/p>\n<p>The lecture is free to the public.
