Welcome to Busted Knees and Pretty Trees, the podcast where the trail dust never settles! Hosted by Travy J, Brad, and Paddy – three outdoorsmen with a passion for all things wild – we dive deep into the world of nature, backcountry adventure, and wilderness living.

Whether you're a seasoned hiker, curious birder, backcountry hunter, weekend canoe tripper, or just someone who finds peace under an open sky, this podcast is your campfire conversation. Each season, we talk gear, share stories, swap survival tips, and celebrate the beauty and challenges of spending time in the great outdoors.

We also sit down with fascinating guests from all walks of life – conservationists, wildlife experts, guides, and everyday folks who have chosen to make nature a central part of their lives. Together, we explore how they connect with the wild and what they're doing to protect it for future generations.

If you love the crunch of leaves underfoot, the call of a loon at dawn, or the satisfaction of sore legs after a long day on the trail, then you're in the right place.

Busted Knees and Pretty Trees – where passion for the wild runs deep, and the stories are as real as the wilderness.

    Ep. 93 - Protecting America's Treasures: Bill Wade and the Future of Our National Parks

    America's National Parks don't protect themselves—and neither does the idea behind them.

    In this powerful episode, we sit down with Bill Wade, Executive Director of the Association of National Park Rangers (ANPR), for a candid discussion about conservation, civic engagement, and the importance of standing up for our public lands.

    Drawing from decades of experience with the National Park Service, Bill shares incredible stories from his time as a ranger, but this conversation goes far beyond trails, wildlife, and scenic vistas. We dive into the growing need for citizens to become more involved in the future of America's public lands and why simply loving our parks may no longer be enough.

    Bill offers a thoughtful and passionate perspective on conservation, public service, and the role everyday Americans can play in shaping the future of the places we cherish most.

    Whether you're a hiker, backpacker, conservationist, history buff, or simply someone who believes these places should be protected for future generations, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
