Brent Leisure, Director of Texas State Parks, returns for another episode of the Park Leaders Show.

This episode is short enough it could have easily been included on the first episode with Director Leisure. This conversation is a separate episode because it needs to be a separate conversation.

We need to support parks at all levels. City and County Parks are an important gateway for exposure to greenspace and the outdoors. For most of us, our first encounters with the outdoors are with an urban park. Parks enhance neighborhoods and lead people to visit larger State and National Parks.

The experience of visiting a National Park lead us to support our local parks as well. All parks are connected. It is a natural progression to begin with your local park and then move up to something bigger and perhaps more adventurous.

Director Leisure explains what Texas State Parks is doing to work with local communities and local parks.

In this episode, Director Leisure recommends the books Sand County Almanac and Leadership on the Line.
