Q9: @GoParks has launched an emergency fund to help NPS sites recover from the government shutdown. How else can #publiclands visitors help? #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A9. Million dollar question. Nothing to do with the shutdown, but it really bugs me that my first memory of driving into Mt Ranier NP were graffiti-covered rock walls. So many with so little respect. #parkchat

A9: Park visitors can help by NOT going to them right now. Don't go and potentially damage a site that can't get fixed right now. Also, write your Congress people. Demand that your senators and representatives DO something about our public lands. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GoParks @MountRainierNPS A9 Once the parks are staffed and truly open, we need to donate extra money. Plus, support the friends groups. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GoParks @MountRainierNPS #parkchat A9 the visit is not free. Pay the entrance fee or buy an annual pass (especially now that those are going to pay laborers) whether they are manning entrances or not. Support the workers who missed out on a monthly paycheck! People and places both will need to recover.

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GoParks @MountRainierNPS A9 The loss of revenue right now is huge. Compound that with the added expenses of cleaning up, and really it just comes down to money. The public has to support our cherished #publiclands. #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GoParks @MountRainierNPS A9) I think it's great that they're doing it though I wish they never had to do it. Visitors can either donate to @GoParks or a local park association while encouraging others to do the same & promote visiting State & Regional Public Lands during the shutdown. #ParkChat

A9—I say parks lovers wait it out and let the Service get back on their feet. Donating to worthy associations is my recommendation. #ParkChat
