Summary

In this segment, we will be having conversations with people of all kinds who are involved with the NPS. As we have gotten deeper into research for the show, our love and appreciation for those who dedicate their time, expertise and passion to the park system as grown deeper as well. For our first guest, we spoke with Kevin Grange. He is a wilderness first responder who has spent seasons in Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Yosemite. His newest book Wild Rescues gives an in depth and intimate look into some of the calls he has responded to within the parks and does an amazing job of underlining his love and appreciation of these wild places.
