Happy Birthday to the National Park Service – 95 Years Old Today
It is hard to image our country without a Yellowstone National Park, or a Grand Canyon or even a Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. While Yellowstone was set aside in 1872 it was not until 1919 that the National Park Service was formed.
Glen Canyon is a National Recreation Area managed by the National Park Service and as such has different management goals than say, Yellowstone or The Grand Canyon. The following is a short film…….
Resource Management Short Film
produced by my son, David Rankin, who works for Glen Canyon and has been producing their podcasts and e-hikes. This short film he did on the Science and Resource Management division of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area for a school project explains very diverse nature of the area and the care that goes into managing it.
