Discovering Alabama
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2018
Discovering Alabama, the longest running and most popular locally produced show on Alabama Public Television, appeared in Alabama homes and classrooms in 1985, when Dr. Doug Phillips first invited viewers to “Come along with me as we explore the wild wonders of this land.”
As an environmental educator for the Alabama Museum of Natural History, Dr. Doug knew that the natural world could bridge the disciplines for a cross-curriculum approach to teaching. Discovering Alabama programs are correlated with the Alabama Course of Study and, with accompanying Teacher Guides, support the teaching of K-12 academic requirements for science, history, social studies, geography and environmental education.
We encourage viewer response and Dr. Doug prefers that correspondence be in the form of an email or a written letter.

Yet we humans are responsible for many activities that are harming and destroying vital insect populations. “Insect Wonders” highlights the often amazing attributes
and capabilities of insects, and underscores the importance of insects to the sustainability of life on earth.

This really what my school got me watching
Excellent. It made me want to go and see these sites and museums. Thank you.
There are two such mounds near Vernon, Alabama in Lamar County.
Twelve thousand years we've been here a lot longer than that we were here when the white red heads came
As an Alabama fossil myself, I approve of this program. Thanks Dr. Doug, for all your service that is beyond the call.
Thank you for this uploading truly amazing
Great video....Thanks
I grew up watchn this show I loved it then and still do
Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin
I was waiting for southbound and down to start playing
I live in Mulga on property previously owned by TCI less than a mile from Bayview lake. We see "guest workers" fishing and swimming in Bayview and village creek.. we just let them be lol
Very Good! 2nd Watch...
Alabama has absolutely beautiful forests.❤
Yea to bad timber companies have come here and stripped all the old growth hardwood that kept this land beautiful provided food for all the wild life now or land has been stripped and planted with pine trees that ain't worth does nothing for the wild life and has turned beautiful land into shit land
Blud’s Yappin about trees like he’s the Lorax.
This state has such good geology. Makes it fun to walk about and explore the hills and valleys
NASTY looking copperhead snake! He's lucky I didn't come across the venomous serpent!!
Love the DOG!!

I found a mound in Stockton that isnt on the registry. Its on the management land here in Stockton.
We are part of the land, we forget that with all business of life itself. It's easy to preserve wildlife. Don't put a business or house on it and it will pretty much take care of itself.
Beautiful ❤
I can't STAND that Alabama accent it sound so Idiotic.
I never visited Alabama but I'd like to see that beautiful state I must admit.
Lebron built the mounds
Ive explored all the Sipsey Wilderness and Bankhead NF, starting in the 1990s up until my double knee replacement In 2007 about two years after my hip was re[lacement. You really need to hike to explore the area.
Excellent except for the inexplicably inaccurate depiction of the dinosaur-exterminating asteroid hitting the present-day U.S. East Coast instead of off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
Last Governers..
Is there any way to find out when this was produced?
This is the best Channel on TH-cam.....at least for this old (76 yrs of age) Alabaman. I sit here every day soaking up all I can about our awesome State. I will continue to do so until until the "Big C" tells me my time is up. GOD has been kind to me thus far.
Trying to locate painted bunting to photograph
I wonder why you haven't mentioned the Indian burial mound in Lillian Alabama. Do you not know of the mound or you just don't want people to know about it. I do know that it is on forever wild land and it was on the Lillian swamp hunting club.
Even though I live in GEORGIA; ALABAMA'S my favorite STATE. I love ALABAMA ♥️👍😃
It is a pretty place, been there many times dating back to the early 80s.

I thoroughly enjoyed this!
The original design used by humans worked !
Isn’t it odd that they just discovered this? I was born and raised in Wetumpka, lived there for 30 years, and now at age 73 they’re just now talking about this thing that happened millions of years ago. That’s Wetumpka.
Wonderful episode...Dr. Wilson was an awesome man and teacher!
Love my Sipsey Wilderness! When renewal of self is imperative.

I see these all the time in north alabamA
How the hell did we allow Birmingham to blow up bigger?? Birmingham was nothing literally nothing until 20 years after the Civil War. Tuscaloosa should be the biggest city in the state. And the Confederate States of America should be our home!
I loved watching these growing up 😊
I love cranes.
How sweet coordinater.
Wondering where this got to.
I am from another state and been to that Park camping etc many times. Very nice park and friendly people camp there. The Park Rangers and people who work there are nice also. Nice place to take children. Many things for children to do there.
The Lord Jesus is in full control of this beautiful world he created for us. It is our job to care for it but we are destroying it as shown here in this film.
A beautiful video! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I hope we all try to do what we can to nurture wildlife in our own gardens.
