About this episode
The episode explores the concept of wilderness and its varying meanings for individuals, set in California's Point Reyes National Seashore.
How wild? We don't have the foggiest idea. In this final episode of season one, we go to California's Point Reyes National Seashore on a cloudy day to think about the nebulous feeling of wilderness and its future. "Capital W" wilderness is a useful land management tool, but wilderness as a feeling is different for everybody.
