America's Wilderness is a web based video series that mixes education, entertainment, and new media to engage the public on the topic of designated Wilderness and its relevance to a wide spectrum of communities nation wide. In a series of short three to five minute webisodes, America's Wilderness celebrates the beauty and the value of America's wild places while striving to increase public awareness of and political support for additional wilderness designations, the highest level of land protection recognized by the Wilderness Act of 1964. Collectively, these stories remind us that wilderness is part of the American identity and that its existence impacts our daily lives in a number of ways, ranging from health and recreation to artistic inspiration and scientific research. —Anonymous
