Parks and Restoration podcast

Parks and Restoration is the podcast for parks, outdoor recreation, and natural resource professionals who want to lead well and leave things better than they found them.

Every other week, we dive into the human side of public land work—navigating burnout, leading teams, cultivating culture, and staying connected to the deeper purpose behind it all. Through real-world stories, lessons from the field, and the occasional metaphor stolen from a fire line or turkey hunt, we help you become a better leader in the landscapes you serve.

Whether you're managing a county park system, coordinating prescribed burns, or mentoring the next generation of conservation professionals, this show is here to remind you: you're not alone, and your work matters.
