Promises Kept: The "Ding" Darling Refuge

The J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge complex represents promises kept: a promise to nature and the earth to preserve and protect its habitat and its inhabitants, and a promise to the American people to make this 8,000-acre sanctuary available for their enjoyment, reflection and education. This half-hour program reflects on the promise made by an unassuming political cartoonist from Iowa who led the initial charge to save Sanibel Island from unbridled development and exploitation. Produced in fall of 2009 to air with Ken Burns' National Parks series.
