Monthly Chapter Program – June 4, 2026
“Parks on the Air: A New Way to Experience the Outdoors” with Erik Wolf

After a full day of birding, hiking, or plant walks, you don’t have to pack it in, you can add a whole new layer to your time in the field. Join Texas Master Naturalist, Erik Wolf, for an introduction to Parks on the Air (POTA) and amateur radio, where a park visit can turn into a chance to connect with people in other parks, across the country, and around the world. Whether you grab your coffee and radio in the morning or wind down after a day birding, it’s a fun, hands-on way to blend the outdoors with a little technology and exploration. If you enjoy being outside and are curious about trying something different in our parks, come see what it’s all about.
About Our speaker:
