The National Park System: America's Best...

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

In 19th century America, a movement began to take areas of exceptional natural beauty and preserve them.

This idea of setting aside land for the purpose of preservation is something that was never really taken seriously before. 

These areas became known as national parks, and it spawned a movement of land preservation that spread around the world and continues to this day. 

Learn more about National Parks, America’s best idea, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
