Welcome to our podcast! Students and faculty from Salem State University's Recreation Management concentration have created this podcast in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation to further enhance people's knowledge about the great recreational opportunities that exist within our Massachusetts State Park system. Every week we will be bringing forth new content about a state park, reservation or forest in Massachusetts as well as information about their management, the people who work there, and any issues that occur within our state parks and public lands. We hope you take a listen and encourage others to "like" and listen to our podcast. You can currently find our podcast on Buzzsprout or Spotify. Our first podcast on Halibut Point State Park can be found here:
