The National Parks: America's Best Idea

 

Developed by Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan, The National Parks: America's Best Idea, offers the American people a way to connect to their national parks. The film reveals compelling stories of the parks, the Service, and the individuals who shaped them.

 

Check your local public television station for times and dates to view this six-part, twelve hour series The National Parks: America's Best Idea.

 

On making the series, Dayton Duncan stated: "When we set out ten years ago to make a PBS documentary on the history of the national parks, we were surprised at what we discovered. We knew that our journey would bring us to some of the most spectacular landscapes on earth and some of the most iconic places in American history. We knew that we might come across magnificent species of animals - bears and buffalo, wolves and trumpeter swans - that would have vanished forever without parks as their refuge. And we knew that, like you, we would be creating unforgettable memories that we could share with our families for generations to come."
