Andrew Revkin, noted journalist, author, and educator, has been reporting on climate change for the better part of 35 years. In a conversation with the National Parks Traveler’s Lynn Riddick, he shares stories of his experiences, and how he is adapting his work to foster conversations rather than the traditional form of interrogative storytelling. He regards today’s communication climate as an inseparable part of the Earth system, and vital in our response to real climate issues. He also has some thoughts about our national parks, and the landscapes we are enjoying at this particular moment in time.

National Parks Traveler Podcast Episode 306 | Introducing St. Croix National Scenic Riverway
There are across the country more than 430 units of the National Park System. And no doubt, most of us are only familiar with the so-called name brand parks.

National Parks Traveler Podcast Episode 304 | Into the Thaw
Most, if not all of us, have bucket lists. Places we want to visit…but don’t always get the opportunity.
This is Kurt Repanshek, your host at the National Parks Traveler. One of the destinations on my bucket list is Gates of Arctic National Park and Preserve and the Noatak River that runs through it. A week or two floating the river sounds pretty ideal to me.

National Parks Traveler Podcast Episode 303 | Change Happens
Change happens…and sometimes it doesn’t.
Change certainly is underway in Washington, where the incoming Trump administration is putting its players in position with promises of changing, or maybe upsetting, the status quo.
Against that, the National Park Service continues to face long-standing problems with not enough staff or funding, compounded by National Park System damage from hurricanes, tornadoes, sea level rise, wildfires, just about everything under the sun.
