Co-host Junior Ranger Kieran will explain why he, his sister, and mother have embarked on a journey of a lifetime--Expedition National Parks--to discover the cultural, historical, and natural treasures of the United States.

One parent, two kids…. 419 national park units… Expedition National Parks takes the listener along on one family’s journey to discover the cultural, historical, and natural treasures of the United States through visiting the 419 units of the National Park Service, often referred to as “America’s Best Idea.”  Always following the Junior Ranger motto of “Explore, Learn, and Protect,” this family’s expedition will crisscross the United States and its territories and episodes will contain dispatches from the parks they visit.  Returning to the U.S. from more than a decade of living abroad, they will explore the surprising connection of many park sites to diplomacy, ever more important in this interconnected world.   Inspired by the parks, with their beauty and deep histories, these three adventurers hope to encourage more people to visit national parks, particularly the less famous and visited ones, and become Junior Rangers themselves, galvanizing a larger movement of youth and family connection to nature and preservation.
