The 2,000 mile-long Appalachian Mountain system is one of the oldest and most remarkable ranges in the world, stretching from the wildflower-spangled hills of central Alabama to the ice-choked edge of Newfoundland where caribou and even polar bears roam.

Join naturalist and author Scott Weidensaul in an exploration of these ancient hills, based on the newly re-vised and expanded 20th anniversary edition of his award-winning book Mountains of the Heart: A Natural History of the Appalachians. Weidensaul will examine the conservation challenges and successes that recent decades have brought to these seemingly timeless hills, and what the future may hold for them.
