Wild America: National Park Ecosystems
Zoom | Available (Membership Required)
Through a stunning collection of images and vivid descriptions, we embark on a visual journey across the 400+ National Park Service units, exploring the remarkable diversity and beauty of America's protected ecosystems. From coast to coast, we traverse soaring mountains, vast deserts, lush wetlands, sweeping prairies, and serene lakeshores. Along the way, we venture into Alaska's pristine wilderness and the sun- drenched, tropical islands of the Pacific, uncovering dramatic vistas and hidden gems where the untamed spirit of wild America thrives. Experience the raw beauty of these diverse landscapes and the unspoiled corners of the country that showcase nature in its most awe-inspiring form.
David Kroese left a 25-year career in the corporate world to pursue his personal interests, becoming one of fewer than a hundred people known to have visited all 425+ National Park Service units in December 2017. Over the past decade, David has logged over 1,500 visits and 5,000 trail miles exploring NPS sites across the country. David wrote of his experiences in the first published narrative through all the NPS sites, The Centennial: A Journey through America’s National Park System. David shares his enthusiasm for our park system in speaking engagements across the country and is currently working on his next book, Amidst the Icons: Hidden Gems of America’s National Park System.
