      April OBX Park News: Celebrating Our OBX National Parks!

       
      Your April e-news preview:

       
      Your Parks, Your Impact:
      A Message From Our Director
      Hello, friends!

      I’m thrilled and honored to join Outer Banks Forever as its next Director! This organization has been doing great work in our community since 2019, and I’m excited to join with Outer Banks national park supporters like you as we work together to protect and enhance these special places – Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, and Wright Brothers National Memorial – now and forever.  

      My career as an executive spans more than 30 years. My nonprofit experience includes serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Chestnut Foundation in North Carolina and serving on the executive staff for the National Wild Turkey Federation in South Carolina. I’ve also had diverse experience working for state fish and wildlife agencies in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Florida, and as a wildlife instructor and research assistant for The Pennsylvania State University. I hold an Associate Degree in Wildlife Technology, a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Science from The Pennsylvania State University, and a Master of Science in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology from Frostburg State University. 
      While we await 2024 data for our Outer Banks national parks, did you know that in 2023, our national parks served nearly 3.5 million visitors and generated approximately $926 million in economic output in the gateway economies surrounding our parks? It’s a privilege to partner with people like you who understand the value (which extends far beyond economic value!) our Outer Banks national parks add to our community and, more broadly, to our nation and our world.
      I look forward to getting to know many of you and spending time in our national parks in the days ahead! Please feel free to reach out to me via email at bryanburhans@obxforever.org or by phone at 717-585-9643 (cell) or 252-423-4545 (office) if you’d like to say hello or set up a time to chat.  
      Gratefully,
      Bryan Burhans
      Director
      Outer Banks Forever
      Support Our Parks
       
      Meet Our Team: Bryan Burhans, Director
      We’re thrilled to introduce you to Bryan Burhans, our new Director! 

      Bryan comes to us from Pennsylvania with a background in wildlife and fisheries science and biology, extensive experience working with both nonprofit and state agencies, and a passion for philanthropy. And he’s passionate about our Outer Banks national parks!

      In his free time, Bryan enjoys turkey hunting, saltwater and fly fishing, hiking, backpacking, flying, and public speaking.

      • Education and preservation through the creation of internships that engage the next generation in protecting our parks and the stories they tell, increasing our parks’ capacity to provide amazing experiences for you and your loved ones.
      • Restoration and conservation of our unique barrier islands through much-needed invasive plant species removal.
      • Enhancing the visitor experience by funding projects that address the needs of visitors of all ages and abilities, so everyone can learn about and enjoy the rich history and beauty of these places.
       
      We’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to these generous donors who have helped us raise more than $13,000 for our new Parks Forever Fund!
