PBS: The National Parks
“Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike.”
-John Muir (The Yosemite, 1912)
I’m so excited to see the previews to the new documentary The National Parks- America’s Best Idea by Ken Burns. I’m looking forward to seeing it when it comes out in September on PBS. I think people don’t give enough thought about our national parks and how important it is to preserve them. The purpose of the documentary isn’t just to show pretty images of the parks but also to portray them in the framework of how innately American the idea is.
