he Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB)
announce the launch of
the AMERICAN FIELD GUIDE Web site. This unparalleled initiative draws on the
rich video libraries of local public television stations, bringing users
searchable access to more than 1,000 online video clips comprising 150 hours
of outdoors productions. This content -- available together for the first
time ever -- ranges from cliff-climbing in Maine to an intriguing look at
the life of wolves in Yellowstone. An extensive resource area for educators
complements the easy-to-use site.

Nearly 30 local public television stations collaborated to provide
captivating outdoor video content, representing all 50 states.

The AMERICAN FIELD GUIDE site is designed to help users find online video
effectively and quickly. Content is indexed by these categories: Animals,
Ecosystems, Human History, Livelihoods, Earth & Space, Plants, Public Policy
and Recreation, with subcategories in each.
