Crossing America – Season 5

​As poet Mary Oliver once wrote, “Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” That is exactly what Crossing America is all about—paying attention to the wonders of our National Parks, standing in awe of their beauty and stories, and sharing them with students everywhere. We are thrilled to launch Season 5 of Crossing America!

To date, this project has reached over one million students and educators through virtual and in-person experiences. We’ve filmed at 40 National Park sites, brought stories into more than 30 schools across the country, and shared interviews with approximately 78 incredible park rangers who dedicate their lives to stewardship and education.

For the 2025–2026 school year, with the support of the National Park Foundation, Crossing America will include:
  • 7 LIVE virtual events showcasing National Parks across the country.
  • 6 new park sites added to our growing library of films and lesson materials.
  • 4 in-person school visits bringing the parks directly to classrooms.
  • 1 full day of professional learning at a school site, equipping educators with tools, strategies, and inspiration to connect their teaching with National Parks and the UN Global Goals.
We are profoundly grateful for this partnership and for the educators, rangers, and students who join us along the way. Together, we are building not just knowledge, but also hope, curiosity, and stewardship for the next generation.
​

So pack your bags—virtually and literally—and join us as we continue to Cross America. The journey is far from over, and the adventure is only growing.
