Angus M. (Angus Munn) Woodbury

Born in 1886, Angus Munn Woodbury was an American zoologist and ecologist closely associated with Utah. He taught at the University of Utah for more than 20 years and also served for many years as a ranger-naturalist at Zion National Park.

Woodbury is remembered for careful field research and for writing about the plants, animals, and landscapes of the Southwest. His career moved easily between the classroom and the canyon, combining scientific study with a gift for explaining the natural world to general readers.

He died in 1964, but his name remains connected with early ecological work in Utah and with the tradition of natural history writing that helped many visitors understand Zion more deeply.
