Profile of a Hero: Martin Litton

Feb 20, 2012, www.hcn.org | “Martin Litton, 95, wastes no time on proprieties. “I’m supposed to be dead, you know,” he says.  A towering presence with a booming voice, Litton has spent his life battling developers, extractive industries and federal agencies on behalf of iconic Western landscapes. With David Brower and Edward Abbey in the 1960s, he successfully fought the damming of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon and helped kill a Disney resort planned near Sequoia National Park.”
