Ep. 16: Lost in Nature

Favorite Librarian, the Podcast

This week's episode is inspired by the Instagram account @TheBlackParkRangerExperience. Your Favorite Librarian is country girl at heart and grew up around horses, and explored National Parks and nature centers with her parents.
Along Your Favorite Librarian's pursuit of higher education, National Parks gave Your Favorite a place of peace and hold a special place in her heart. Join Your Favorite Librarian as she shares her favorite National Parks, the best National Parks in the Metro-Atlanta area and how representation in the National Park System matters.
The first time Your Favorite Librarian met a Park Ranger of color... it changed her life. From the guide tour, the insight, and the world of knowledge shared--- left an impression. Your Favorite Librarian's Favorite National Parks are:

• The Okefenokee Swamp is a shallow, 438,000-acre, peat-filled wetland straddling the Georgia–Florida line in the United States.
• Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, at Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama, commemorates the contributions of African-American airmen in World War II.
• Arabia Mountain, a part of Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area, is the northern of two peaks in the Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve, in DeKalb County, Georgia
• Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park in Macon, Georgia, United States preserves traces of over ten millennia of culture from the Native Americans in the Southeastern Woodlands.
