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 @PointReyesNPS A7: Yeah, I've helped with coastal cleanups down in Capitola. #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.


A9 Lead by example. We are planning on donating and publicizing that fact. #parkchat #govermentshutdown

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 @GallatinNF A6 the list of @ParksPassport cancellations for National Heritage Areas has taken us to many cool places, including Fallen Timbers Battlefiedl, the MotorCities National Heritage Area and the Herschel Carrousell Factory in the Erie Canalway National Heritage Area #ParkChat

You all know I agree with this. I'm a proud member of @wnpa1938 and often give memberships as gifts for birthdays or the holidays. #ParkChat https://t.co/MXdXxA4oD1

A9 Practice peace. With an end to war, we could protect our lands, not to mention end hunger, provide health care for everyone, provide the world with clean drinking water...the end to all wars starts with each of us #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GoParks @MountRainierNPS A9: Keep buying your annual passes if you can, pay your public land fees when you come across them, donate to friends of and other groups not directly affiliated. #ParkChat

replying to @SouthernerSays @SouthernerSays @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice Yep, can't remember where in the SW, but who was that Hollywood starlet busted for carving names or something into rock faces? So many just don't value our public lands. #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr On our MotorCities National Heritage Area trip we randomly discovered a bison herd in suburban Detroit at Domino's Farms Office Park. Who knew? #ParkChat #MoreBisonPlease


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

I just realized how much I miss seeing the @NatlParkService and all the NPS units tweet.
There’s is much more than that at stake, of course, but sometimes you just crave normalcy and the little things.

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @wanderlustmark @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice @WoodsyAnimation I'm going to have to check that out. Project Wet and Project Wild contain some good environmental lessons, though I don't know that they are widely used in schools. #ParkChat
