Ken Burns is optimistic about the future of the national parks. He points out that they have always gotten a boost in a time of economic downturn, and is hopeful about the current administration's efforts to refresh the park system with more land, more resources and more care. His film THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICA'S BEST IDEA airs over six nights beginning Sept. 27, 2009, on PBS.
My wife and I just returned from vacationing in Yellowstone/Grand Tetons with a renewed spirit for the American people (they come from everywhere and join hands in the park experience) and protecting the planet's health. America's Best Idea indeed!
