Edgar Arthur Wayburn[1] (September 17, 1906 – March 5, 2010) was an American environmentalist who served as the president of the Sierra Club five times in the 1960s. He has been recognized as one of the least-known yet most successful defenders of America's natural heritage.[2][3][4] Wayburn played a crucial role in the establishment of significant achievements, including the creation of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the creation and subsequent expansion of Redwood National Park and Point Reyes National Seashore,[5][6] and the expansion of Mount Tamalpais State Park.[6][7]
