At 588,000 acres New Mexico’s Vermejo Park Ranch is the largest parcel of private land in the United States. The North Carolina’s Great Smoky Mountains National Park is only 520,000 acres, as printed in 1997 Fortune Magazine that declared Ted Turner the nation’s largest private landowner in the wake of the Vermejo acquisition.

One of owner Ted Turner's main objectives is the conservation of all the property he has purchased.

1919 Hemphill, a wonderful activist space, has agreed to help host a public screening of Gulf Restoration Network's "Defend the Gulf" in Fort Worth, Texas!

The Event: We will have a short talk about the aftermath of the 2010 BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill, then a screening of GRN's series of shorts, followed by a Q&A session, a chance to sign a petition, and a raffle drawing to win a trip to New Orleans!

Cost: A small fee (about $5) will be asked by the space to defray the cost.

Refreshments: 1919 Hemphill will generously provide vegan popcorn, soda, and water.

More about the movie: "Defend the Gulf" features "a beautiful piece from Cornell's Ornithology Lab, the hilarious 'BP Spills Coffee', excerpts from GRN's issue-focused Gulf Tides series, and more."
