National Parks: Episode 6
“
The Morning of Creation”
National Parks Episode VI: Follow-
ing World War II, the parks are over-
whelmed as visitation reaches 62 mil-
lion people a year. A new billion-dollar
campaign – Mission 66 – is created to
build facilities and infrastructure that
can accommodate the flood of visitors.
A biologist named Adolph Murie in-
troduces the revolutionary notion that
predatory animals, which are still hunt-
ed, deserve the same protection as other
wildlife. In Florida, Lancelot Jones, the
grandson of a slave, refuses to sell to
developers his family’s property on a
string of unspoiled islands in Biscayne
Bay and instead sells it to the federal
government to be protected as a nation-
al monument. In the late 1970s, Presi-
dent Jimmy Carter creates an uproar in
Alaska when he sets aside 56 million
acres of land for preservation – the larg-
est expansion of protected land in his-
tory. In 1995, wolves are re-established
in Yellowstone, making the world’s first
national park a little more like what it
once was. Showing in The Movie The-
ater at 10:00am & 2:00pm.
