Episode Description

PA has millions of acres of state and local parkland, but none of them have that coveted national park status. Why doesn’t Pennsylvania have a national park? And where should we go instead? Host Megan Harris brought these questions to PA’s director of outdoor recreation, Nathan Reigner, who's part of a new department all about championing our outdoor spaces. He shares a few of his favorites, including national forests, trails, state parks, and more — plus his pitch for why everyone should get outside as often as they can.
