Yukon to Yellowstone
Description
Following National Geographic explorer and correspondent Nick Baker, this program takes a remarkable 5,000-mile road trip along one of the greatest mountain ecosystems in the world-the Rockies. Beginning at the northernmost reaches of the Yukon and ending in the breathtaking parklands of Yellowstone, Baker sets out to explore the natural history of these locations in the wake of an ambitious and controversial plan called the Y2Y Conservation Initiative. Students will learn how the plan aims to link the great national parks and reserves of the Rockies, creating a network of preserved habitat.
