Smoky Signal is a show about the science behind Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
In season one, we explore three stories on the theme of Collections. We learn about renewing traditional plant gathering practices in the park, a natural history museum with thousands of specimens, and even the collection of something pretty stinky (in the name of science, of course).
What can we learn about the Smokies—and ourselves—through these acts of collection?
