replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A4) Los Padres National Forest is just 20 minutes from my house. I've not spend a lot of time in, but I remember it being the only "green" flora when we first moved here b/c of the drought. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A4) Oh geez, there's so many in the Sierras and I don't know which is the closest without doing the calculations and measuring but mostly there's Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fur. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5 #ParkChat I think municipalities are starting to recognize how important wild green spaces are and plan for more of them.

A4. I've got a city park with a few big trees in it about three miles away. And a state park with old-growth 10 miles away. And a state forest with (one grove of) old-growth 12 miles away. Seriously, I live in big tree country. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5 I think it's an interesting concept and true for me. Perhaps people have to discover this for themselves but who knows? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5) I don't know if they will officially make there way here, but I think more and more people are seeking forests for healing purposes here in the States. I find great peace and am able to recharge in nature and I can only imagine others feel the same way. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A4 Seaquest State Park - it's small, but it's the only decent size natural forest remaining for many miles in any direction. It has some very large doug firs, big leaf maples, and a few exotic specimens planted back when it was a homestead. #parkchat

A5 More than 20 years ago, I was in a break-up and feeling sad. I went on month-long road trip and on first stop, at Great Basin National Park, I hugged the bristlecone pines. #parkchat

A5 As a Romantic, with quite a bit of Transcendentalist in there, yeah, there’s a healing power in all of nature, not just the trees. #parkchat

A5. I think some people are already using public lands for forest bathing and like practices. I know being in the forest is necessary to my well-being (right, @coasthikergirl?). #ParkChat

Q6 #ParkChat Which National Park that you’ve visited had the best “Tree Experience” for you? What was the most memorable aspect of that experience? @CongareeNPS ranks high on our list.

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5: Simply having untouched places for relaxation and soul therapy improve quality of life. Unsure of their encouraged development in the States due to modernization #ParkChat
