Morris County Park Commission partners with local podcast to showcase parks
New partnership will spotlight the history, beauty, and community value of Morris County’s park system through storytelling and interviews.
MORRISTOWN, N.J. (Morris County) — The Morris County Park Commission announced Monday a collaboration with Beyond The Green, a podcast produced by Morristown-based Sleeping Bear Productions, to highlight the history, beauty and community value of Morris County’s expansive park system.
The partnership will bring listeners and viewers behind the scenes of the county’s parks, trails and open spaces, sharing stories of conservation, recreation and community impact. Episodes will feature interviews with park staff, local historians and community members who help make Morris County’s park system one of the most celebrated in New Jersey.
“The Morris County Park Commission has always been committed to preserving natural resources while providing recreational opportunities for our residents,” said David Helmer, executive director of the Morris County Park Commission. “Partnering with Beyond The Green allows us to share these stories in a fresh and engaging way, reaching new audiences who may not yet realize the incredible assets available to them right in their backyard.”
Peter Barbounis, founder of Sleeping Bear Productions and executive producer of the Beyond The Green podcast, added: “As a Morris County native, it’s a privilege to collaborate with the Park Commission on this project. Beyond The Green was built to celebrate the people, places, and history that make our community unique. Highlighting the parks not only tells their story but also connects generations of residents to the natural beauty and heritage we’re so fortunate to have in Morris County.”
