Wilderness in America
From Conquest to Conservation
America has a conservation legacy unmatched anywhere in the world. Nearly 30% of the land in the United States – the National Parks, National Forests, wild rivers and wilderness is owned by her citizens. See how over the past 400 years leaders, writers, artists, and photographers have changed the way many Americans think about the land – from something that should be conquered to something to be protected and preserved for future generations.
This film can be used in the classroom or shown as a fundraising event. DVD run time: 54 min.

Renowned children’s book illustrator and landscape painter Thomas Locker illustrated and in many cases wrote the stories of these lovers of the natural world, three of whom were writers and the other a master painter of the Dutch Golden Age. These four Thomas Locker’s stories are read aloud by children’s literature expert and storyteller Judy Volc while the camera washes over Locker’s lush paintings. The story is brought alive with the sound of Judy’s voice, married with sound effects and music.
