National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis has had a higher profile than most people who’ve held his position. That’s because the National Park Service this year turned 100 years old. Events to honor the centennial included a summer-long celebration and a push to get more people to connect with America’s outdoor treasures.
Tonight, Jarvis will offer a lecture as a guest of Boise State’s Andrus Center for Public Policy.
Ahead of his visit, our Frankie Barnhill spoke with Jarvis, a 40-year national parks employee. You can hear their conversation below.
Jarvis will speak in the Boise State Student Union this evening from 6 to 7:30. The discussion is free and open to the public.
