Joshua Zucal Named 2024 PA Wilds Outstanding Leader Champion Award Recipient

PA Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau 

Joshua Zucal was named the 2024 PA Wilds Outstanding Leader Champion Award recipient.

 The Outstanding Leader Award honors a person, organization, business or elected official that has used their platform to advocate for outdoor recreation economic growth in the PA Wilds to create jobs, diversify local economies, inspire stewardship and improve quality of life. 

Zucal is in his first year as a Cameron County Commissioner, and prior to being elected he served as the Marketing Director for the county. Some of his efforts included the Look Up Cameron County campaign, encouraging travelers to view the stars in Cameron County, and he is actively developing a location near Emporium as a Dark Sky viewing area.

 Zucal has also worked to improve and designate gravel roads as biking opportunities in Cameron County. As an entrepreneur, Zucal and his wife also run two businesses and contribute to the Cameron County economy.
