Six Counties Along the State Coastline.
Burbank, Calif. – KCET, the nation’s largest independent public television station, completed stage 1 of CALIFORNIA COASTAL TRAIL, a robust digital field guide which aims to raise awareness about the
California Coastal Trail; its past, its present, and future through a series of videos, online guides, and historical
narratives.
The online exclusive series explores the trail in 30 short films portraying communities within sight, sound, or smell of
the ocean along the state’s coast between the Mexican and Oregon borders.
Over the course of 18 weeks, CALIFORNIA COASTAL TRAIL provided a comprehensive look at the trails, beaches, coasts, restoration efforts and travel destinations of San Diego County, Orange County, Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo County. Partially funded by The California Coastal Conservancy, CALIFORNIA COASTAL TRAIL concluded its roll out on an almost daily basis between May and Labor Day.
“It’s exciting to be sharing California’s southern coast with our audience, which includes both the casual vacationer and California history buffs. I hope the project will be a great resource for planning and inspiring trips to one of California’s greatest assets for years to come,” said Zach Behrens, Director of News, Region and State. “We were pleased to work with Rigler Creative on the series of videos to bring the stories of the coast to life.”
KCET offers additional social media engagement on Facebook.com/KCET28 and @KCET on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags: #myCAcoast.
