Host Dave Schlom sits down with one of his favorite people, Lassen Volcanic National Park Superintendent Jim Richardson, on the eve of his retirement from the National Park Service.
Richardson reflects on the many roles he has played while wearing the iconic NPS ranger hat, from being a rescue ranger in the Rockies to a stint out in the Pacific at American Samoa National Park and his final gig at Lassen Volcanic.
Dave is also joined by LVNP Chief Fire Officer Mike Klimek, who reflects on Jim's leadership during the Dixie Fire, which burned much of the park in 2021. If you've ever wondered what it's like to run a national park, this conversation is for you!
