Scope and Contents

New concerns about development, pollution, zoning around the lake. 01:32.

Louise Degn's note: The environmental movement was part of the broader social changes that took place in the mid 1960s through the 1970s and was still in its early stages in 1969. Rural counties resisted placing governmnetal control over land yet were overwhelmed by the influx of growth. For these stories, I did research on the phone ahead of time. I shot the stories on a Bell and Howell silent camera over the course of two days. There are no interviews or stand-ups because spending that much time on a news story out of town was unusual and sending a second person with a camera was unthinkable. Photographer/Editor: Louise Degn. Original scripts available.
