At its 2020 Council meeting, the PCB-AHA passed three resolutions on the naming of various building and sites at the local, state, and national levels–including the Madison Grant Forest and Elk Refuge and the Madison Grant Memorial at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park–and offering to assist in recommending racially and ethnically diverse scholars to serve on commissions to study these names.
