national park service

This is the story of the United States National Park Service, from its creation by Woodrow Wilson in 1916 to its evolution through the decades, including its counterparts around the world and the legal and political challenges it faces today.

Traces the birth of the national park idea in the mid-1800s and follows its evolution for nearly 150 years. Using archival photographs, first-person accounts of historical characters, personal memories and analysis from more than 40 interviews, and what Burns believes is the most stunning cinematography in Florentine Films' history, the series chronicles the steady addition of new parks through the stories of the people who helped create them and save them from destruction.

Text and photographs explore the different careers available within the National Park Service and offers career tips and information on training.
