A recent show produced by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department gives listeners an inside look at the workings and happenings across the state's outdoors. 

"It's for anyone who loves Vermont's wild places and wants to be part of conserving them," reads the website's bio.

The podcast officially began last December and is available through Apple Podcasts and Spotify. So far the department has released four episodes, including a live show on turkey hunting.

The logo for the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is featured on a wildlife management area sign in Richmond.
