Where To Watch Branching Out
Join Ginger Zee and her family as they take their family on an eco-friendly road-trip and meet National Geographic Explorers along the way.

Watch "Branching Out: A Nat Geo Earth Day Adventure" here.

With Earth Day fast approaching, it's time to figure out what to watch. With tons of eco-related shows to watch on every streaming platform, it can be difficult to decide where to start! From National Geographic's "The Secrets of Whales" to the awe-inspiring intensity of "Explorer: The Last Tepui" on Disney+, there's a nature documentary for everyone. But what if you're looking for something that's more fun for the whole family?

The show starts off with the family exploring the important role of trees in Earth's ecosystem, from the plight of the almost extinct American Chestnut to the heights scientists go to study the forest's canopy. The family races to plant Chestnut Tree saplings in New York, before the show heads to Florida where they meet up with National Geographic Explorer, Meg Lowman (also known as "Canopy Meg") to play hide and seek under the mighty branches of a majestic Banyan Tree.

The family visits AeroFarms in Newark, New Jersey where they learned about vertical farming after getting dressed in head-to-toe PPE.

With the help of some tree climbing experts, Ginger scales to the top of a huge tree to get a birds-eye-view of the forest's canopy.

Equal parts fun and informative, 'Branching Out' has a message most nature shows miss--That being eco-conscious doesn't have to mean losing out on family fun. In fact, the show highlights just how easy it can be to plan an eco-friendly trip the whole family can enjoy.
