Vermont Business MagazineOutdoor Journal,Vermont PBS’ venerable outdoor program, kicks off its 14thseason onTuesday, January 26, with stories that take viewers across the length and breadth of the northeast region.As always, hosts Lawrence Pyne and Gina Bullard explore the outdoors with an infectious sense of curiosity as they introduce us to an array of outdoor adventures – from way down under to way up yonder.On tap for the new season: we’ll get a fish-eye view as we snorkel Vermont’s White River in Rochester; and Lawrence hooks into largemouth bass in Berlin Pond and chases world-class brown trout in upstate New York. Gina takes to the skies on a hang gliding adventure over the Connecticut River Valley, goes skeet shooting in Morrisville and goes on a geocaching treasure hunt in central Vermont.
Weekly conservation segments feature efforts to restore lake sturgeon in Lake Champlain; improve stream habitat for brook trout; and local classroom efforts that emphasize the importance of habitat and wildlife conservation. “My Outdoor Journal” segments also continue this season as viewers share stories on kayaking Waterbury Reservoir, hiking Haystack Mountain and an archery moose hunt.
