Restoring Gettysburg Battlefield | The Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 was the turning point in the Civil War, but the battle's legacy extends beyond military history, as Gettysburg National Military Park today preserves 4,000 acres of the battlefield and adjoining areas. Preservation of the Gettysburg battlefield began shortly after the battle ended, with a portion of East Cemetery Hill developed by the War Department into Gettysburg National Cemetery, where President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address four months after the battle at the cemetery's dedication. | 8/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

A Century of Conservation At Muir Woods | Redwoods have a special place in western conservation culture. Along with being the tallest trees in the world, Redwoods are also some of the world's most rot-resistant trees, and by virtue of their bark, size, and ecosystem, Redwoods are amazingly fire-resistant. Other than man, or the occasional well-placed windstorm, Redwoods have no natural enemies, and can thrive for hundreds if not thousands of years. Growing along a thin coastal band from Big Sur to the Oregon border, Redwoods once covered two million acres of the Northern California coast. | 7/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
