Special episode release! Ever wondered what it really takes to earn that ranger badge? This week I’m hanging out with Ranger Nathan Jeffery, swapping stories about the wild ride from rookie training to day-to-day adventures on the job — and all the unexpected joys that come with protecting our forests. Need a sticker? Shoot me an email or stop by Camp Catskill and grab one! Make sure to subscribe on your favorite platform, share the show, donate if you feel like it… or just keep tuning in. I'm just grateful you're here. And as always... VOLUNTEER!!!!
