Biographical History
Emily Haig (1890-1978) was an ardent conservationist who was active in conservation organizations and activities beginning in 1912. At that time Haig became a member of the Sierra Club and joined in the opposition to the construction of the Hetch Hetchy Dam in Yosemite. In 1923 she came to Seattle, where she continued her involvement in conservation and became active in the Parent and Teachers Association (state president from 1934-1938), the Seattle Girl Scouts, and the American National Red Cross (board member of the Seattle-King County chapter). She was also a board member of the North Cascades Conservation Council, the Olympic Park Associates, the Nature Conservancy (Washington chapter), the Natural Resources Forum, and the Washington Arboretum Foundation. In addition, she was president of the Seattle Audubon Society and an active member of the Seattle Mountaineers, the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs, the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Sierra Club, and the Washington Environmental Council. Haig was a force behind the establishment of the Japanese Tea Garden and the Foster Island Bird Sanctuary in the University of Washington Arboretum in Seattle. She was also involved in the protection of other areas in the state, including Leadbetter Point, sections of Olympic and Rainier National Parks, North Cascades National Park, Glacier Peak Wilderness Area, Nisqually Delta, and many others.
