Today on Your Call: What does it take to preserve wild land today?

  On today's Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about the value of National Parks. Just this month, President Obama signed a bill making the Pinnacles National Monument, East of Monterey, the nation's 59th National Park.How does this change our interaction with a place?   What are we learning about bringing people into nature without harming the wilderness?  Join us at 10am Pacific Time or post a comment here.  It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Neal Desai, Pacific Region associate director for the National Parks Conservation Association
