For those of us growing up in the 80’s, Lorne Greene’s New Wilderness was something special. These were nature documentaries that would easily give Planet Earth a run for its money. Lorne Greene had a touching and soulful way of talking about the animals that appeared in the 104 episodes of his show.

But looking around the Internet, you would think that these films are gone forever. You can order several episodes on VHS off of eBay and Amazon but that’s kind of pathetic. Where is the DVD box set?

To answer this question, I emailed CTV who previously had the syndication rights. They said the rights are held by Lorne’s son Charles, and there is no current contact information for this person. Try as I might, I was unable to locate any contact info for Charles Greene or his sister.

If anyone out there knows how to get a hold of these people so that we can politely request that they share these films with a new generation, let us know in the comments. Come on Internet, we can do this!
