Discovering Alabama
США
Добавлен 10 сен 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.

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 RUclips.....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.
Amitabha🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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.
Madison county, AL is growing too fast y'all. Leave some woods please.
And they're still selling Bradford Pear Trees. They should be banned.
Great historic video...!!!
Very good video! Anything that cab make birmingham better is very much needed. They also need to let people fish & "catch their supper" in the urban lakes, creeks & rivers that have good clean water!
Thank you have had dreams of village creek in all it's splendor believe it or not😮❤
The river is known for its hungry alligators
Pretty sure the Gears use the river and correct name in their books.
This man really knows his stuff. What was the original air date again? I wanna say late 90’s
I have a Huge favor 🙏 I found what I VERY much believe to be dinosaur fossils. Who do I speak with ? Not in Alabama but TN. I have some knowledge and have done all the matching and figuring I can do. This is a VERY real request for assistance. Whomever assists with identification will NOT be sorry.
We used to call it "shit creek".
İve watched this about 15 times. Whenever i miss home i just listen to it. Thanks again
Omg. People treat fish like they're not alive. Good God "Were gonna take this one back to the lab for study". Ya I'm sure they appreciate how much you respect them
Was some of this filmed in the Choccolocco Mountains?
That's home sweet home to me. Sometimes I forget how blessed I am to live in Northeast Alabama.
There is a bat cave closer to the damn and on a boat at dusk you can go there on a boat and they come out by the 1000s ,its really something everyone close should experience
@@Mike-cv9rr I’ve sat on my ole MasterCraft boat waiting on those bats a many of late afternoons until dark. I agree with you it’s a sight all should take the time to see.

Fantastic video! Makes me so proud to be able to live here and fully appreciate the wonders of nature! Hiking around these mountains is such a beautiful experience. I can't believe deniers of natural selection and the age of the planet still exist but they're in the comments like the fossils in the rocks xD
melted buildings
Perspective. The entire State is one of a kind for many moons
They are telling a lie. The canyon has Ben around for thousands of yrs and was doing just fine we could camp fish spend the night sit around a camp fire it was great before the state took it over. Now we have to pay to go to the park can't spend the nite can't sit around a camp fire. And no one wanted the state to take it over we sign petitions to try to stop the state from stepping in but of course they did any way. If I park on the grass they write u a ticket. I never go down there anymore. Wish it was the way it was before the state step in
