New National Parks Documentary
 

In the fall of 2009 PBS will air The National Parks, a major documentary film series produced and directed by award winning documentary filmmaker Ken Burns and writer/producer Dayton Duncan. It will tell the human history of five of the nation's most important and most heavily visited National Parks (Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Acadia, and Great Smoky Mountains) and the unforgettable Americans who made them possible. They are looking for historic family footage of the national parks from the 1920's to 1980's. They are most interested in families and tourists in the national parks, not scenery without people. Do not send original footage (VHS or DVD copies only please). Material will not be returned. Clearly mark the tape or disc with your name, address, phone number and e-mail (if available), so they can contact you if your footage is selected. Include a brief description, e.g., the Smith family, George and Martha, Bill and Sally, in Grand Canyon, 1955. If your home movies are used in The National Parks, you will receive a DVD of the series. Send to the address below by August 1, 2007:

Essential Association Aid for Yellowstone Exceeds $1.2 Million for 2007
 

Every September the Yellowstone Association Board of Directors receives a list of funding requests from Yellowstone's Chief of Interpretation for the upcoming fiscal year. With the dedicated support of our members, we have allocated $1,245,648 to improve current park educational programs such as visitor publications, online services, and exhibits. This aid also funds educational operations at visitor centers and support for the park's Heritage and Research Center's research library, educational awareness of Native Americans' current and historical connections to the Yellowstone ecosystem and support for tribal consultations, and scientific conferences and research. As we look to another successful and rewarding year, we want to thank all of our members and supporters for their continued dedication to our mission and to preserving the wonderland that is Yellowstone. With your help, we will continue to preserve and protect one of Earth's most magnificent places.
