Got a question or comment? wisconsinsoutdoorexplorer@gmail.com Wisconsin has one of the best park systems in the state. When most people talk about Wisconsin parks, they usually mean one of our state parks. And why wouldn’t they? Wisconsin state parks offer so much to each visitor. And each park offers something different. You really get a taste of the different areas and regions of the state with the different terrains and trials at each park. And with over 40 state parks spread throughout Wisconsin, you definitely get a chance to feel what it’s like to experience Wisconsin. But did you know that Wisconsin’s county park system offers a great alternative to the larger state parks. There are a lot of advantages to these smaller parks and on this week's podcast I go through some of the things that I enjoy about our county parks.

Hike-It-Baby introduces children from infants all the way to school aged kids and their families to hiking in the outdoors.  Hike-It-Baby has branches all throughout the United States and has 10 branches throughout Wisconsin.  Today I’m talking with Jami Rogers, the Co-Branch Ambassador for Hike-It-Baby for the Appleton Area.   We talked about getting kids outdoors and introducing them to hiking, the type of support you get when you hike with the group and why this is such a great way for families to get out and hike.

During the pandemic, many events have been canceling in the recent weeks.  And that has us asking, "What's next and what's left for our summer?"

Imaging yourself sitting out on the water, fishing pole in one hand and sun shining down on you.  It’s the perfect way to spend the day.  Nothing but you and open waters.   Fishing season is here and that means it’s time to enjoy some quality time with buddies and see who can reel in the big one.  Today I’m talking to Bob LeRoy, the newly elected president of the Wisconsin Fishing Club.  I talked with Bob about some things to remember as the fishing season gets underway and he offers some tips for some one interested in getting into the sport of fishing.

During this time we can be filled with negative story after negative story.  This group fights with this group about when to reopen or what the next step should be.  I say don’t worry about things you can’t control; enjoy the things you can control.  You can control how you react to all of this. You can control how you spend your time.  Spring is here, get out an enjoy this time with your family.  Take your pets for more walks than they want.  Feel the sunshine on your face and take advantage of this time you’ve been given as you head out to be one of Wisconsin’s Outdoor Explorers.

I think I can safely say that most of here in Wisconsin are ready for warmer days.  I’m getting tired of cold mornings and having to bundle up if I want to go for a walk.  I’m ready for warm sunshine on my face and smelling the flowers.  My guest today is also looking forward to seeing the flowers bloom and not just because he likes their beauty.  You see flowers and blossoms are a huge part of his life and business.  Where there are blossoms, so are his bees.  Today I’m talking with Kent Pegorsch.  Kent has been a beekeeper for over 40 years and is currently the president of Wisconsin Honey Producers.  I wanted to find out from Kent what it takes to keep bees and what are some thing you can do to help bees in your area.   Of course, we also talked about honey and the impact the honey industry has on Wisconsin agriculture.

Having a garden and caring for plants is a great way to get outdoors. The hours that can be spent caring for your outdoor plants can be relaxing and refreshing. I wanted to learn more and that’s why on this podcast I asked Stephanie O’Neal, the president of the Wisconsin Hardy Plant Society. We talked about what classifies as a hardy plant, some things to think about before you begin planting and why it’s important to think about native plants.

Spring is officially here and that means the snow turns to rain. And at times, those April showers turn in severe weather. Do you now what you would do if severe weather happens and you’re out on a hike or floating down a river?  This week, I’m bringing back Justin Poublon from Wisconsin Weather to talk a little bit about severe weather in Wisconsin.  What things we should watch for and I asked him to give us a few tips if you find yourself out on the trails if severe weather should pop up.

As most of us living in Wisconsin know, the spring season can be finicky.  One day it’s 50 degrees and you’re ready to break out the shorts for the year and then the next day it’s back down to 20 degrees and you’re shoveling 6 inches of snow.  These swings in the weather are pretty much normal for Wisconsin and we learn to live with them.  However, they can make getting out for a nice hike a bit tricky.  I want to offer you a few tips to think about before you head out the door for that spring hike.

The process of tapping trees and turning sap into syrup is a time-honored tradition here in Wisconsin.  It’s another sign that spring is on its way and collecting sap is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy those early warm spring days.  But have you ever been curious on the process of going from sap to syrup?  And have you ever wanted to try and make your own? Today I’m talking with Theresa Baroun, the executive direction of the Wisconsin Maple Syrup Producers Association and we go over the overall impact the Maple Syrup industry has on Wisconsin, the process of making this sweet treat and how you can get started in making your own maple syrup from trees right in your backyard.

I’ve been guilty of not being in the moment and just going to an event or hiking a trail without really stopping to take it in.  I think that the whole reason we seek to get outdoors is to get away from our busy lives.  But if we don’t take the time to be in the moment, aren’t we missing the whole point of being outdoors?  That’s why I want to offer some times on how to be in the moment more and get the most from your outdoor.

Got a question or comment? wisconsinsoutdoorexplorer@gmail.com   If you’ve ever driven on highway 29 between Wausau and Green Bay, you’ve driven through Shawano County.  You’ve probably notice numerous barn quilts as you pass through the county.  Did you know that Shawano County is considered the Wisconsin’s Barn Quilt Capital?  I recently talk with the man who started it all, Jim Leuenberger.  Jim brought his idea of barn quilts to Shawano county in June of 2010, after seeing barn quilts throughout Iowa, Kentucky and southern Wisconsin.  He first presented his idea to local 4H clubs as a way for them to do something for the community.  But little did he know that his idea would grow to over 350 barn quilts in less than 10 years.  It’s truly a labor of love and Jim shares his story with me on this week’s podcast.

Got a question or comment? wisconsinsoutdoorexplorer@gmail.com I think most of us can agree that taking care of Wisconsin is important.  Being able to enjoy our parks, beaches, rivers and lakes is something that we want to pass down to the next generation.  However, there are some things in our state that are creating unfair competition and even dominating our natural resources and habitat.  And that is Invasive Species. But how do we even identify what is natural and what is invasive and what can we do to help the situation?  I recently talked with Natalie Dutack, the Aquatic Invasive Species & Watershed Groups Manager with the River Alliance of Wisconsin.  She talked to me about some of the things the River Alliance is doing to monitor invasive Species as well as how to prevent the spread of invasive species in our waterways.  Natalie also talked with me about an upcoming event called Snapshot Day, where you and I can get out and help identify invasive species throughout the state.  Snapshot Day will be held on August 17,2019, and is a great way for you to get involved in helping protect Wisconsin from invasive species all while spending a day on one of Wisconsin’s beautiful waterways. With almost 30 different sites throughout the state, there are plenty of opportunities for you to get out and help keep track of invasive species in our State. If you’d like more information about Snapshot day and how you can help, follow the links below.  Let’s do something great for our state as we head out to be one of Wisconsin’s Outdoor Explorers.
