Geography of Utah: Episode 18: National Parks & Recreation
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

The significance of "Program #18: National Parks & Recreation" is discussed in this full program from the 22-part video series THE GEOGRAPHY OF UTAH, conceived and written by Albert L. Fisher, PhD (University of Utah) in the early 1980s. Program Eighteen is a video tour of Utah's spectacular national parks and recreation areas. Zion National Park, Bryce National Park, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches National Park, Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, Dinosaur National Monument, and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area are all visited. The controversy of land use and environmental preservation is considered in interviews with San Juan County Commissioner Cal Black and Benjamin Zerbey of the National Park Service. Rainbow Bridge National Monument and Canyonlands National Park are only two examples of the land use debate. The entire GEOGRAPHY OF UTAH series encompasses the political, cultural, historical and sociological geography of the state of Utah. It describes the activities, the land and the people. Much of the video material was videotaped on location throughout the state of Utah, giving the student and interested viewer valuable field trip experiences. You will find that even though the series was produced several decades ago, Utah's issues and its landforms have virtually remained the same, although many of the players have changed.

Geography of Utah. The Great Salt Lake. Bear River Bird Refuge.
Rating
0.0 stars

The significance of -- Bear River Bird Refuge -- is discussed in this media item extracted from the 22-part video series THE GEOGRAPHY OF UTAH, conceived and written by Albert L. Fisher, PhD (University of Utah). The series encompasses the political, cultural, historical and sociological geography of the state of Utah. It describes the activities, the land and the people. Much of the video material was videotaped on location throughout the state of Utah, giving the student and interested viewer valuable field trip experiences. === The Great Salt Lake is a primary link in the migratory flyway between Canada and Mexico. The lake shore provides resting and feeding grounds for millions of migratory birds, including blue herons, cormorants, geese, and many duck species. Most birds land in one of the five bird sanctuaries that border the lake. The largest, the Bear River Refuge, is located at the mouth of the Bear River. During late summer, as many as two million birds may be found at the Bear River refuge alone, including the largest Whistler Swan population in the United States. Lake levels are important to the bird refuges. When the lake rises above the 4,202-foot level, brackish water invades the sanctuaries and upsets the food chain. When the lake drops below the 4,196-foot level, the marshes dry out and small animals can prey upon the birds. ===
