Q11. We’d like to tip our hats to the volunteers, cooperating associations, Governors, Mayors, etc. who have contributed their resources to keep (some of) our public lands open / protected during this difficult time. Are there any uplifting stories we should highlight? #ParkChat
replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr How do we get @59NationalParks on CNN? #parkchat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip @GlacierNPS Thanks! It was the tail end of the season and so there were truly so few people there. It was really a special visit. #ParkChat

@publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice Q8: What do you think should be done to help @leavenotrace outdoor ethics education reach a broader audience? #ParkChat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @SouthernerSays @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice Yep. I've had that issue hiking with some of my friends, not getting the need to stay within trail markings to not trample fragile lichen, or just carelessly snowshoeing with no regard for trampling groomed parallel XC tracks. FRIENDS! sigh. #parkchat

replying to @OutdoorAdv360 @OutdoorAdv360 I've seen it too much on social media that it's "XYZ" fault for the trash. Nope, it was some lazy POS person who threw it instead of finding a place to properly dispose of it. #ParkChat

replying to @e_terren @e_terren @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute Curious to know those who are calling in to work ad hoc like this. Theoretically I guess they are still clocking in their time and all their work hours etc will be submitted at a later time for lum sum pay when the situation is over? #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @PointReyesNPS A7: we volunteer at our coastal local state park to pick up trash. So much trash washed up from the water. Very depressing. We picked up a lot of trash on our visit in Florida Parks too. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr Wow! Still love that knowledge. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @NatlParkPodcast @NakMakFeegle @publiclandlvr @NatlParkService @PetroglyphNPS @GreatSmokyNPS @BryceCanyonNPS I recall that two parking spaces were closed at Mt Vernon. #ParkChat

replying to @NakMakFeegle @NakMakFeegle @NatlParkPodcast @publiclandlvr @NatlParkService @PetroglyphNPS @GreatSmokyNPS @BryceCanyonNPS It also needs to be recognized that the extra-aggressive steps taken to close the Parks in 2013 directly led to the outcry that caused the next Administration to try and keep the Parks open during shutdowns. which they have since botched #ParkChat

replying to @louisbink @louisbink @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks You mean, back on @CNN? #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip @publiclandlvr @GlacierNPS @BigBendNPS Absolutely one of the best short walks I've ever been on in a NP - I always say, if God intended us to have borders, he wouldn't have put something so beautiful on the other side #parkchat

Q10: Cape Hatteras National Seashores Shelley Island. Nature giveth in 2017 and took it back in 2018. It can happen that quickly. #SaveOurParks #ParkChat #EndTheShutdownNow


replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs @PointReyesNPS Thanks for doing that! One of the reason I started #ThingsIFindInWhiskeytownLake was to raise awareness about how litter can pollute our water systems and eventually reach our oceans. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A11 I saw today that @REI is contributing $250K for restoration efforts. And they aren't the only organizations seeing the need. So much passion is out there. ❤️

A11) #Parkchat As far as I know, the @DryTortugasNPS has remained opened to make it a very special trip for those who are either onboard the @YankeeFreedom or flying in on @KWSeaplaneAdv so much #Respect to the Rangers who are likely there right now making sure it's safe. https://t.co/mhbIVdjEyi

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A11 I've been uplifted by stories of those who have spent time cleaning, restocking, and otherwise lessening the impact. That's a true labor of love for our national treasures. Many thanks to those people! #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr tonight is a good start....tag all great photos on twitter and IG with #SaveOurParks and #ParkChat education is key to change.

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A11 I've read stories of volunteers cleaning bathrooms and hauling out trash. That's dedication to the parks. #ParkChat

replying to @louisbink @louisbink @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks With a lot of makeup? ;) #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A8. As I've become involved as a Scout Leader - I've been really impressed with how much they stress Leave-No-Trace in their curriculum. Honestly, a lot of Junior Ranger programs could lift a page or two from the Scouts on teaching Leave-No-Trace. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr Let us know if you'd like to join our #NuestrosNationalParks "Week of Action" social media push next week! We'll be focusing on many of the same topics covered on tonight's #ParkChat.

A11: Person deserve credit for stepping in to help with public lands during the government shutdown, but I'm not a believer in highlighting these stories. These are actions people should be doing regularly if they truly believe in our public lands. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @NatlParkPodcast @publiclandlvr @NatlParkService @PetroglyphNPS @GreatSmokyNPS @BryceCanyonNPS I don't think they were too aggressive at all. #parkchat
