Public Lands and the Government Shutdown

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @PointReyesNPS #parkchat A7 on a minor scale. We picked up and stocked some outhouses during our stay @YellowstoneNPS over Christmas break. We weren't the only ones! Even the guide services and locals were chipping in.

A7: We haven't yet, we're not really near any parks at the moment, but as we begin heading south, we'll be thrilled to participate. #ParkChat https://t.co/MAXEHuSUd1

A7: Living in Japan, I can't participate in cleaning up public lands. However, Japan is very different when it comes to trash. There are VERY few public trash cans, and people are expected to take trash home for disposal instead of relying upon government services. #ParkChat

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove @WildWithinHer @rscottjones True. I was thinking of California's incredible variety. State parks in deserts all the way to alpine areas & a nearly temperate rainforest climate. The sheer number of them--just 21 in LA compared to https://t.co/593kg2q1WW #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @PointReyesNPS A7: Living far from a NPS unit that would require such cleanup, no I don’t have plans to participate. But I do champion anyone that does #ParkChat

A7 (the real A7) We have not. we have been swamped since we started the new semester. We really need to get down to @KennesawNPS to help out. #parkchat #govermentshutdown

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GallatinNF A6. My strategy may not work for some people, but it is to avoid too much planning (obviously safety should be planned for) and be open to exploring and taking detours! You never know where an unexplored road may take you! Brown signs can often lead to wonderful things! #ParkChat

A7: unless help is specifically requested, I am not volunteering. I saw this with #redcross cleanup efforts after the Indonesian tsunami in 2004–“help” can be a hindrance to pros already on the ground. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @PointReyesNPS I haven't participated in any efforts so far but if I were I'd hope that the organizers would have some training since as a former National Park Service Maintenance Worker I know firsthand it can be dangerous. #ParkChat

A7. No. We'll see what happens with @MountRainierNPS reopening this week. @NCascadesNPS is essentially closed because the highway is closed. Haven't heard much about @OlympicNP. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @PointReyesNPS A7. No and no, and I fear if too good of a job is done it will make the antigovernment fools think the federal employees are superfluous #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute A1: Yeah, a road trip down to Yosemite was on the table for New Year's, but a combination of the shutdown, bad weather, and getting sick made it unfeasible. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @PointReyesNPS A7 Most federal #publiclands near me are closed due to the winter season anyway, and even Mt. Rainier NP closed except for Longmire due to the fact that there's nobody to plow the road to Paradise. #Parkchat

replying to @NatlParkPodcast @NatlParkPodcast @NakMakFeegle @publiclandlvr @NatlParkService @PetroglyphNPS @GreatSmokyNPS @BryceCanyonNPS Well, that is misleading - each Administration has taken a slightly different approach with shutdowns, so there is no "exact same fashion." And the steps taken to shut down the Parks in 2013 were controversial, and in many people's minds, excessive. #ParkChat
