Pittsburgh – Outdoor recreation on Pennsylvania’s waterways was the topic of conversation on the second edition of “Environmental Focus,” a half-hour television talk show from the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC).

The show, which will aired on the Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN) on Sunday, July 11, featured one of the first one-on-one interviews with Cindy Adams Dunn, the new secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR).

In this interview, Secretary Dunn discussed her views on Pennsylvania’s waterways and the role they play in outdoor recreation across the Commonwealth. Following her interview, a roundtable discussion on outdoor recreation included National Park Service Outdoor Recreation Planner Jackie Kramer, Eric Martin, owner of Wilderness Voyageurs, and Patrick Starr, executive vice president of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council.

“Pennsylvania’s watersheds are a crucial aspect of our Commonwealth’s environment,” Starr said. “Not only is this installment of ‘Environmental Focus’ an educational tool for the viewers at home, but also a great way for the panelists to engage in productive discussion to better Pennsylvania’s environment.”

“We think ‘Environmental Focus’ is an effective tool for reaching important audiences and openly discussing the issues, ideas, and challenges facing the Pennsylvania environment,” PEC President and CEO Davitt Woodwell said. “And PEC hopes to lead the discussion on these issues in ways that elevate the debate in a thoughtful, transparent, and productive way.”
