national parks

  • Obama might sign a bill next week to make Great Falls in New Jersey his first designated national park, but is this necessarily a good thing? I love me my national parks, but the linked article asks some interesting questions with respect to the purpose of giving areas this highest protective honor. (8) #

  • Ken Burns (The Civil War, Baseball) is working on a six-part, 12-hour miniseries on America's National Parks, to be aired next year. I've been a yearly National Park Pass holder for 4 years now, so I'm looking forward to this one. (I've been to only 23 of the 58 National Parks -- I still haven't been to Nevada's one park, yet somehow the Dry Tortugas got a visit!) (via ecoscraps) (13) #
