About this episode
We’re building on the success of our first season with even more great guests and great stories for our second season in 2024. This season we’re going to be hearing from park and forest managers, conservationists, biologists, environmental educators, volunteers and lots more.
Experts in their fields will be speaking to us about our public lands, conservation efforts, wildlife management, outdoor recreation and lots more.
The aim of the podcast is to shine a spotlight on the stunning parks and forests we have in Pennsylvania and inspire people to become stewards of our public lands. Let us help you fall in love them, then join us in protecting them.
I’m also excited to announce that we have two sponsors for our second season – the Keystone Trails Association and Purple Lizard. You’re going to be learning about their awesome services and products throughout the year.
Our second season kicks off on Jan. 3 with an episode on Cherry Springs State Park – Pennsylvania’s first dark sky park. I look forward to sharing our new guests and episodes with you in 2024.
