Since 1980, Pacific has hosted the Muir Symposium to explore and examine John Muir and the early conservation and environmental movements. The event has focused on topics including Muir's friends and family, his accomplishments and methods as a naturalist and scientist, his perspectives on peoples and parks and his legacy. Carolyn Finney, Donald Worster, Andrea Wulf and Royal Robbins are among the scholars who have presented during the Muir Symposium.
