Learn about the life and work of Rachel Carson

PBS American Experience released “Rachel Carson” on January 24, 2017.

A UC Santa Cruz college is named for the writer who inspired it
Rachel Carson, writer and conservationist, is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. Her 1962 book, Silent Spring, dramatically chronicled the damage caused by indiscriminate application of chemicals in an attempt to control pests. Her larger theme: humans are a part of nature—not its masters.

College Eight at UC Santa Cruz was born embracing environmentalism. As of September 2016 it has a name befitting that passion: Rachel Carson College.

The naming gift from the Helen and Will Webster Foundation recognizes Carson for her courage and pivotal role in awakening the public to environmental issues.
