61: Channel Islands National Park: North America’s Galàpagos - Where Isolation Shaped a World of Its Own

Today, we’re heading west off the coast of California into the Pacific Ocean to explore a chain of islands that, though close to the mainland, feel a world apart – Channel Islands National Park.  In this episode we discuss some of the fascinating features of the park, some plants and animals, learn about the history of the park, island dwarfism and gigantism, complete an activity from the junior ranger program, and have some recommendations for exploring the park.   Junior Rangers are explorers, learning all about the park’s ecosystems, plants and animals, and how to protect nature.  The Junior Ranger program is not just for kids; it's for the young, and the young at heart!
