@publiclandlvr @GallatinNF Q6: What strategies do you use to identify lesser known destinations to visit? Share your tips with the rest of us! #ParkChat
Q6: Our LO regional volunteers always have the best ideas on where to go for bucket-list and lesser-known local destinations! https://t.co/OqfxW3YUTO

A5 #ParkChat I haven't been to any near me. but my favorite state park is Valley of Fire outside Las Vegas in @TravelNevada and I'm actually going there this weekend!

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @PointReyesNPS A7 Being in Illinois, I'm not close enough to lend a hand in any of the federal #publiclands. However, I wish the news would cover more of these stories than the other horrible stories. I think it changes the public mindset! #kindnessbegetskindness #parkchat

replying to @LatinoOutdoors @LatinoOutdoors @GallatinNF So great that you can take advantage of that local expertise! #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @PointReyesNPS A7. This is a tough choice for me, but I feel like my presence may do more harm than good. That said, it must be done. I don't have the answer, but I'm doing my best to support by spreading the word about how amazing these National Treasures are & why they mean so much. #ParkChat

A8: Living in Japan for 4+ months, I see trash pickup as a cultural and personal thing. Japanese people take pride in having a clean and relatively tidy country. So for the U.S. to follow it has to start at home with everything. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A8 I honestly don't know what more could be done short of large scale public awareness campaigns that there is no budget for even if the government was open. #parkchat

replying to @NakMakFeegle @NakMakFeegle @publiclandlvr @NatlParkService @PetroglyphNPS @GreatSmokyNPS @BryceCanyonNPS That is complicated, however, the whole point of a shutdown is supposed to be to stop spending money - so how much "extra" money should be spent to try and seal off and barricade an area of public lands? Why not just not furlough the staff instead? #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A8 It would be nice if we had another social push to respect our environment like we had in the 70s. We need a refresher course. #ParkChat

A8 Here’s the thing. folks know about LNT. They know that NPS isn’t there to pick up the trash. They are littering anyway. #parkchat #govermentshutdown

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A8) At the minimum I'd like to see a return of the @smokey_bear & @WoodsyOwl TV Public Service Announcements & print ads along with new ones from @leavenotrace & similar organizations. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A8. This question is way bigger than the #shutdown, for sure. With increasing visitation and pressure on all public lands, the few who abuse the privilege have outsized impact. It'd be helpful if #LeaveNoTrace education was part of #EveryKidinaPark initiative. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr A7) #ParkChat It is nice of these people to do but No, I haven't and I wouldn't, I'd likely be taking pictures and publicly shaming people by posting the video and photos of the ones who were breaking laws and doing damages, making sure to give lic plate numbers to authorities.

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A8. One of the parks I worked for partnered with a local recreation group to advertise and push LNT to vacationers. That group has also sponsored clean ups during the shutdown #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Stars252525 @HubbardJeff @publiclandlvr @GallatinNF This former geography teacher is a HUG fan of paper maps. I do't see how you would adequately plan any scenic trip with merely Google Maps. #parkchat

Your brain is a muscle and needs training. If people aren't exposed to. nature, they literally cannot SEE it nor care for it. 😔
