EDENS LOST & FOUND, a four-hour PBS series, crosses America to showcase extraordinary stories of environmental rebirth in very different American cities and the visionary leaders transforming the urban landscape. Stories and interviews with citizen activists, politicians, urban planners, and just plain folks who contributed to their city's urban renaissance reveal how passion combined with innovative strategies can address the widespread problems facing many of America's urban environments today. Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Seattle are featured. Each city has employed dramatic strategies to "green" their metropolitan area, to build the sense of community in neighborhoods, improve public health, preserve access to nature and increase property values. More information on the series and accompanying book can be found at http://www.edenslostandfound.org/
* NKCDC hopes to schedule a local screening for neighbors later this year.
