Season 5, Episode 37 - We first introduced you to Nathan Reigner when we hiked Big Pocono State Park (https://www.poconomountains.com/ptn-detail/big-pocono-state-park/68bec90692a22759111bef57/ ) together during our state parks series on PTN. He's the first ever Director of Outdoor Recreation (https://www.poconomountains.com/ptn-detail/the-pa-office-of-outdoor-recreation/6980ef120d36280f4ab0a675/ ) for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But as much as that's a lofty title, Nathan's down to earth - one of those spearheading the effort to grow the economy through outdoor recration and no better place to do that than here in the Poconos.
