| 説明 | Tere Calderon began volunteering with the BLM at the Los Angeles County Fair in 2011, helping to host the Backcountry Horsemen exhibit, teaching Leave No Trace principles, and working with live native reptiles. But in 2012, Tere found her true passion in the “coolest place at the LA County Fair”: a re-creation of the General Land Office (GLO), a precursor agency to the BLM. Using simple props such as maps, a surveyor’s chain, old books, and a theodolite (land surveying instrument), Tere tells the story of how western wildlands were surveyed, guiding history enthusiasts on a “walk through time.” Thanks to Tere’s skill and enthusiasm for making the past come alive, this reproduction of an 1800’s GLO outpost has gained a reputation as one of the most interesting and educational exhibits at the fair; students at some local schools even receive extra credit for participating. The journey concludes with the opportunity to emboss the official GLO seal on a souvenir “patent”—featuring hand calligraphy by Tere, of course—for an imaginary 654 million acres of public lands. Tere has been an invaluable ambassador for the BLM, underscoring the BLM’s mission to serve current and future generations, encouraging fair visitors to explore the public lands for themselves, and stressing the importance of responsible stewardship.Learn more about volunteering with the Bureau of Land Management here: blm.gov/get-involved/volunteersPhoto by BLM. |
