“Wherever you get your podcasts,” the promos always say. We’d like to modify that to wherever your podcast gets YOU! We hope the Think Outside Podcast will, first and foremost, get you outside. Playing outside. Volunteering outside. Prioritizing outside. Yes, THINKING outside.

Help preserve the camping experience by following campfire safety guidelines.

Happy National Campfire Day! 🏕️🔥

When preparing for a campfire, remember that it is best to use downed wood from the local area. Bringing in wood from another place can introduce unwanted critters like bugs or diseases that are not native to the area.

Many PA state parks and forests have places where you can buy local firewood. This firewood is often collected by Friends Group volunteers, and all of the money goes to support park improvements and maintenance.

Stay tuned for Leave No Trace Principle 5: Minimize Campfire Impacts to learn more about campfire safety. In the meantime, you can reference the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation’s Campfire Savvy infographic.

One of the many ways that the River brings us joy...cooling down on a hot day.

On this day in 1921, hundreds dove into the Susquehanna River to beat the July heat. This photograph was taken off the coast of City Island and features the Capitol Building’s impressive silhouette, sitting just above the horizon.
