Apologies for the late notice for tonight's lecture, but I just received this information late this afternoon.  There are several opportunities for viewing the new National Parks film by Ken Burns.  If you are not able to make either one of these lectures or were not able to make the preview in March, the Park will be showing this preview on weekends at the main visitor center through September 26.   The entire film will be aired in six episodes starting September 27.  Please check local television programming.

America's National Parks—Celebrated in New Ken Burns' Film Series

Channel Islands National Park superintendent, Russell Galipeau, will host a special forty-five minute preview of the  new Ken Burns series, “THE NATIONAL PARKS: America’s Best Idea,” during the September “From Shore to Sea”  lecture.

Galipeau will introduce the film preview and explain how the NPS is working to preserve and protect the Channel Islands for current and future generations of Americans.  The title of the film is "The National Parks: America's Best Idea."  It was filmed over more than six years at some of nature's most spectacular locations — from Acadia to Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades of Florida to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska. 

The lectures occur at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 8, 2009, at Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, 113 Harbor Way in the Santa Barbara Harbor and Wednesday, September 9, 2009, at the Channel Islands National Park Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitor Center, 1901 Spinnaker Drive in the Ventura Harbor.
