July 20, 2024 - Pittsburgh, PA
Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis visited Point State Park in Pittsburgh to highlight opportunities for all Pennsylvanians to get outdoors and experience the Commonwealth. Davis presented a proclamation to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources announcing July 20 as Outdoors for All Day, highlighting the Commonwealth's wealth of public outdoor spaces that make Pennsylvania a place for a Great American Getaway for all Pennsylvanians. The agency supports hundreds of outdoor-related projects annually, having invested $1.2 billion in 8,800 projects since 1995. "During the pandemic, the Second Lady and I took the opportunity - just as many Pennsylvanians did - to enjoy our Commonwealth's incredible state parks," said Lt. Gov. Austin Davis. "Now that our family has grown, we can't wait to take our daughter to some of the places we hiked and show her the wonders of nature. Our state parks are a true blessing, and on Outdoors for All Day, I would encourage every Pennsylvanian - no matter what you look like or what your physical abilities may be - to experience all of the benefits the outdoors can provide."
