23. There's Something for Everyone in a Virginia State Park with Tim Kennell, President I Virginia Association for Parks

Virginia Outdoor Adventures

“If you love a state park, it pays to speak out and support it. It's going to take all of us to make sure that our elected representatives hear how important state parks are to us, and how we want to make sure that they continue to be accessible for future generations. Everyone coming together can make a difference.” - Tim Kennell, Virginia Association for Parks
Virginia State Parks represent the best of Virginia’s natural diversity while providing amenities, programs, and activities for millions of visitors. With 41 parks across the Commonwealth offering 500 miles of trails, campsites, cabins, boat launches, beaches, picnic shelters, concerts, nature programs, and cultural events…there's something for everyone at a Virginia State Park. Tim Kennell, President of the Virginia Association for Parks, highlights some of the lesser-known attractions to help you plan an unforgettable adventure. Tim also discusses an opportunity for all of us to protect our recreational and natural resources. YOUR voice can determine the future of our state parks. Let’s Go!
