Raising beachcombing kids in a small town, with Pete Clarkson, marine debris artist and former Parks Canada Park Warden Get Outside With Kids

    • Parenting

Artist and former Parks Canada Park Warden Pete Clarkson has had enough adventures to fill an entire podcast series! In addition to making waves around the world with his colourful and inspiring marine debris artwork, Pete has worked in two of the most iconic National Parks in Canada and raised three kids with his wife in the beautiful town of Tofino.
Now that Pete’s kids are adults, he takes us through his family’s journey from the mountains to the ocean. 
Tune in to hear: 
About Pete’s amazing career, starting on horseback in the backcountry of Jasper, to the shorelines of Tofino, and around the world as an artist
How Pete and Jen approached kids’ organised activities in a small town with few facilities
One of the absolute wildest “when things went wrong” stories we’ve had on the podcast (seriously! It was even wilder than the bonkers story shared by Lauren Maclean in this episode)
So much wisdom, lots of great takeaways and a whole bundle of laughs
Check out Pete’s work on his website and on Instagram
Places mentioned in this episode: Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, Jasper National Park
