This week, KQED began airing Ken Burns’ latest documentary The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.
In support of that, QUEST, KQED’s local science and environment series, is debuting their own documentary on our local national park: the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
The half-hour program, Bringing the Parks to the People, covers Land’s End, Crissy Field, Alcatraz and the Marin Headlands, all part of the GGNRA. QUEST examines how these national parks came to be preserved, the rise of non-profit land trusts in protecting and restoring Northern California’s open spaces, and how these vital places are used and maintained by the communities served by them.
You can watch it tonight at 7:30pm on KQED Channel 9, watch it below, or watch it on KQED.com in higher quality. The show is also available as an iTunes podcast.

Golden Gate National Parks chronicle two hundred years of history, from the Native American culture, the Spanish Empire frontier and the Mexican Republic, to maritime history, the California Gold Rush, the evolution of American coastal fortifications, and the growth of urban San Francisco
