Welcome, fellow explorers. My name is Christian Alexandersen and this is Hemlocks to Hellbenders. A podcast highlighting Pennsylvania parks, forests and great outdoors.
I’m excited you’ve decided to join me on an exploration of all things natural and wonderful about Pennsylvania’s public lands. That doesn’t just include our parks and forests. We’re going to be learning about our incredible landscapes, plants, trees, animals, waterways and so much more.
I’m going to be speaking with experts in their fields to find out more about the Commonwealth’s magnificent natural resources. You’ll be hearing from park rangers, educators, conservationists, biologists and volunteers.
