That\u2019s exactly how I felt the first time I came across one of the National Park posters designed by amateur parks historian Ranger Doug Leen and his team of artists and creators. The colors, design and connection to the past reminded me of all of the work and drama that went into protecting the lands I had come to love -- and why doing so is important. Many other collectors and park enthusiasts feel just as I do about the prints -- and the mystery and chase around creating them. In this episode Ranger Doug, so-called \u2018Ranger of the Lost Art,\u2019 tells the story of chasing down the historic park prints, creating new ones in their style and why these connect visitors to the national parks they love.
