'Highly Recommended. This program's clear explanations, illustrated by live-action shots and diagrams where necessary, allow even the novice to grasp the elements of the process of wetland creation; it is certainly suitable for anyone interested in preserving and developing the wetlands in their jurisdiction.' -VRG Review This timely program introduces viewers to a wetlands area and underscores the importance of wetlands to our communities, as well as the imminent danger of disappearing altogether if controls in development are not in place. Here we see that wetlands are areas where water covers the soil, or where water is present either at or near the surface of the soil either all year long or during various times of the year. It is the quantity of water and the timing of the water's presence, which in part determine the functions of a wetlands as well as its role in the environment. Wetlands we see often provide critical habitat for wildlife, especially for breeding purposes.

Sewage. Not your most popular topic, but certainly an important one; especially since it's created every day, not just by individuals in homes and apartments, but also by institutions, hospitals and commercial and industrial establishments. Fortunately, sewage treatment, or domestic waste water treatment, is a modern-age triumph of technology, and people can take heart that a marriage between nature and modern sewage treatment technology has taken place. In this informative program we learn of the stages involved in sewage treatment, as well as the physical, chemical and biological processes required for removing contaminants from waste water.

Crested Butte, Colorado, is a former coal-mining town whose territory in the Rocky Mountains remains in conflict. This classic documentary takes us back to 1984 when we first meet miners who reflect on their coal mining days before the mines closed; this is the perfect segue to the bigger issue at hand: whether AMAX Inc. (now Climax Molybdenum) should mine molybdenum at nearby Mount Emmons or not. From the corporation's side we learn that molybdenum is a silvery metal used in jet airplanes, automobiles, solar panels, and drilling machinery, and its mining would bring jobs to the area. On the other side we hear from Town Planner Myles Radaman, former mayor W Mitchell, Population Biologist Dr. Paul Ehrlich, and Ski Area Developer Howard Bo Callaway, who argue against mining the mineral. In the end we learn the conflict was decided on the side of the townspeople and today Crested Butte remains a popular destination for outdoor activities, such as skiing, mountain biking and hiking.

Forests. Just how important are they? Frankly, they are essential to sustain life on Earth; we need them to sustain clean air and water, not to mention the shade and shelter they provide, along with the multiple products that are derived from them or the domain they offer the world's wildlife. Unfortunately, all too often they are at risk from deforestation and the purpose of this short, reverent program is to underscore to viewers of all ages that a forest is our friend, an important biome that is a natural living organism. Here we are offered a warm, sensitive look at the pastoral beauty of life in the forest with the hope of inspiring viewers to look for the magic and mystery of the forest, to explore the nature and feeling of the forest, and to ultimately remember our responsibility to preserve and protect this treasured natural resource.

'Highly Recommended. An excellent learning tool that connects the arts, youth, and ecology in an innovative and exciting way to bring an important message about the devastating affects that people food can have on our bird population.' -Heidi Narte, Seattle Parks and Recreation 'Highly Recommended. This is an interesting project that helps get the message out in a different way about why it's not okay to feed ducks and geese. Most people are not aware of the problems associated with this common activity occurring in many of our parks and other waterfowl use areas.' -Don Kraege, Washington Dept. of Fish & Wildlife Unfortunately, too many well-intentioned people, including children, think they are being nice if they feed birds. Truth is, it threatens the birds' health and pollutes the environment--which is the important message of this children's style musical story based on an original song. 'The Ducks & Us' speaks to the power of singing as a learning tool for young children. The song was written and is performed by Pamela Sackett, founding artist of the non-profit organization, Emotion Literacy Advocates. Touching illustrations, animation and videos were created by interns at the Art Institute of Seattle. The Northwest Boychoir provided background vocals. Overall, the program is a sensitive and effective tool to help young viewers understand themselves and that there are mutually beneficial ways to engage with wildlife without sharing food.

'Highly Recommended. An outstanding program that underscores the importance of the world's trees.' -SECA Review Trees. We know how vital a natural resource they are and how important they are for the quality of air we breathe; so, obviously, nobody in this age of awareness should want to see the forests disappear; however, that is not always the case. People everywhere don't want to give up paper or the thousands of other products made from trees; the world is dependent on forest products, not to mention the jobs that are created from providing these modern-day necessities; thus we have a serious issue we have to face. The good news is forests are a renewable resource; they don't have to needlessly disappear; there is something each and every one of us can do. This important documentary vividly illustrates the problems we face as we try to reconcile our dependence on forest products and the jobs they create with our concern for natural resources. Here we are introduced to two groups with common sense approaches to improving the environment, Project Learning Tree and Wildlife Action. Overall, we discover the challenge is to make decisions in our daily lives that ensure our forests remain a renewable natural resource and a place of beauty for all to enjoy.

Today, the term 'endangered species' is well understood by even the youngest school child; however, that has not always been the case. It wasn't until the Endangered Species Preservation Act that the first list of endangered species was issued in 1967; then, fearing enough wasn't being done, the Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973, designed to protect critically imperiled species from extinction. Advocating the theme of these important environmental laws, this classic animal conservation documentary, narrated by the respected actor and wildlife activist John Forsythe, reflects on man's responsibility to wildlife as a question of duty. It is presented with a classical music track that complements poetry of Walt Whitman and William Cullen Bryant, while examining the context of the beauty of nature and the history of environmental concerns in North America; also we discover how conservation groups, such as the National Wildlife Federation, Ducks Unlimited, and the National Audubon Society, sprang up to help protect embattled species.

Narrated by Lorne Greene (Bonanza), this classic documentary presents the biography of Aldo Leopold (1887-1948), a renowned scientist, educator, philosopher, scholar and writer, who has been called the 'father of wildlife ecology,' as well as the 'father of wildlife management'; the thoughts and reflections of this important naturalist have guided millions to discover what it means to live in harmony, not only with the land, but also with each other. Born in Burlington, Iowa, Leopold learned as a boy from his father how to look for and appreciate the many mysteries of nature. After graduating from Yale with a degree in Forestry, he joined the U.S. Forest Service as a ranger and supervisor in New Mexico and in 1924 succeeded in having the Gila National Forest designated as the first extensive wilderness area in the U.S. In 1933 he accepted a position to teach game management at the University of Wisconsin. In 1935 he moved his family into a run-down cabin, known as 'The Shack,' and for years they planted trees in the area to help restore the land; also that year he and 7 other conservationists started The Wilderness Society, which continues today as an advocate to restore America's wilderness areas. All of these experiences led Leopold to write down his observations and thoughts about this new concept known as 'land ethic,' and although he died one year before his famous book, A Sand County Almanac, was published, his ideas about nature and the environment continue today as his lasting legacy.

The Arctic is warming up twice as fast as the rest of the planet; its frozen world is one of the last refuges of the unknown land on Earth and the Arctic, as we know it, is, literally, disappearing. Under the threat of global warming, this vast expanse of water and ice, and its inhabitants, are facing unprecedented upheavals. This timely documentary, the first of two on climate change, follows the year-round trip of the CCGS Amundsen, a Canadian research ice-breaker, on an unparalleled scientific mission - the most important it has ever carried out - where some 40 scientists from a dozen countries study the area's fragile ecosystem; here they travel on an Arctic odyssey, endeavoring to better understand the future of the world around us.
