Public Service Announcements Highlight National Trails (7/23/07)

BLM has released a set of Public Service Announcements (PSAs) that focus on the variety and beauty of public lands, and a special set of PSAs focusing on National Historic and Scenic Trails.

The announcements feature the National Historic Trails Center in Casper, Wyoming, which celebrated its fifth anniversary August 9-11, 2007. Also included is a PSA on the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, a trail that follows public lands along the Continental Divide from Montana to New Mexico. Two of the PSAs include testimonials from Alan Simpson, former Wyoming Senator and strong supporter of the Trails Center.

Each of the announcements runs 30 seconds in length and is approximately 2 Mb to download.
