replying to @NakMakFeegle @Wild_Tribute Perhaps by promoting the concept of "healing forests" it might be possible to convince communities to invest preserving more natural spaces. #parkchat
replying to @louisbink @louisbink @CongareeNPS @GreatBasinNPS Tough little hike for sure. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A7 right here at home. That pine beetle is making such a mess of things. 😩 Every mountainside has larger and larger brown stands of pine every year. I'd post a pic but it ain't a pretty site. #blackhills #southdakota
replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS @RedwoodNPS The quintessential pic. A lot of people log for such conditions, including us! #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 Rocky Mountain NP is being ravaged by the pine beetle. Other places too. And so many trees dying from drought conditions in the west. Sad to see. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5. Perhaps. There are Parks with RX programs. #parkchat
replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @59NationalParks Couldn’t agree more. Dreams for a lifetime #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute Great Smokies for sure. Parts of the Park are devastated. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5. Absolutely! It's revitalizing walking through an old growth forest. It's almost like we are interdependent or something. #ParkChat
RT @mamanobles: @tthrash @59NationalParks @GreatBasinNPS Trees @RedwoodNPS because they are unbelievably big! I just can’t get my head (or…
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6) #Parkchat One night, when in the primitive campgrounds in @Volcanoes_NPS , I got turned around, I lost sight of my tent and my phone died (silly me, using as a flash light) an ohia tree saved me from slipping into a crack, it looked bottomless upon inspecting, in the morning.
A7. When it's natural, I actually find incredible beauty in charred trees and the sprouting growth below them. Especially when it's hundreds of tiny pine trees that you know will all fight to be one of the three or four that actually make it in that spot. #parkchat https://t.co/gW2PKHpFwD
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6 @OlympicNP is the park I always return to for tree experiences, but my most memorable single "tree experience" in a park has to have been visiting @RedwoodNPS - the sheer scale of the trees there is truly awe inspiring! #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7) I've been going to Tunnel View in Yosemite NP for over 35 years and it sad to see the damage Pine Beetle has done. Luckily there's funding going on to help restore the area. #ParkChat
replying to @tthrash @tthrash @naturetechfam @Wild_Tribute It’s why I’m going, so yes. #ParkChat tree hug.
A7 Mesa Verde, unlike other national parks, did not implement control burns due to the omnipresence of archeological resources, and this has resulted in large wildfires that burned two-thirds of the park’s area within the last 15 years. #parkchat
replying to @mamanobles @mamanobles @tthrash @59NationalParks @GreatBasinNPS @RedwoodNPS Great picture for perspective! Never seen that many people encircle the trunk of a behemoth like such #ParkChat
A7) I would really love to see hemlocks back in @ShenandoahNPS. They are nearly all gone after invasive bugs. #ParkChat
Q8 #ParkChat John Muir once said “Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.” What does his quote mean to you? Does it remind you of anything or anyone?
A7. Washington has had devastating forest fires in the past three years. I hope to see the Carlton Complex Burn grow back. Outside my home turf, @BandelierNPS. #ParkChat
A4) Hempstead Lake state park is the closest protected forest. It has several lakes and a bike trail. Unfortunately, a lot of people forget it's there. #ParkChat

replying to @BarnetteJason @BarnetteJason @CongareeNPS The smells of that boardwalk are from the swamp/trees or the decaying boardwalk itself...or both? #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6 Redwoods NP for grandeur or GSMNP for variety. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5. I'm not sure of the exact definition of a healing forest, but I think any forest can heal us. I can't imagine the life of someone who thinks he does not need the outdoors. #parkchat
A7 After spending time in @CusterStatePark earlier this month, I’d love to see the are recover from the wildfires from a couple years ago. #parkchat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @HaleakalaNPS You guys. You don't think I would make an inaccurate claim do you? #ParkChat
RT @BarnetteJason: A6 The trees of @CongareeNPS surprised me when I learned they are some of the oldest in the country. I love walking the…
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8) It reminds me that of wandering the rows of pines in the river bottom behind my house as a kid. Each day was a new adventure for us and we never stopped exploring. #ParkChat
A8 #ParkChat To me it means that entering the wild is entering countless new worlds. That there's always something new around every corner. https://t.co/cO1T8uIs0a
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 #parkchat The fire-ravaged area near Red’s Meadow in the Sierras. The fire was in the ‘92 and the regrowth takes so long in that climate. It sure opened up some nice views though…
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8 To me it's saying take a walk and discover the world. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @CongareeNPS It used to be both, until the storms of the last two years pretty much destroyed the entire boardwalk so they had to rebuild it. Now it smells like Lowes Home Improvement haha. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6) Olympic National Park, home to many giant trees, like this huge old western red cedar. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 The Columbia Gorge fire really hit me hard, and due to climate change I doubt it will ever be the same as it was. It is certainly the place I would most like to see restored to its former glory! #parkchat https://t.co/8uCoSt0Sca
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8 That the great outdoors hold the most amazing adventures. I'm grateful that my parents gave me access to places to explore. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8 reminds me of this “doorway” in Yosemite #parkchat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks To me, it means that changing your outlook and your mindset is possible through nature. Self discovery, discovery of the world around us. it’s all in nature. #ParkChat #FindYourPark
replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute @HaleakalaNPS Hey wait a minute. I was in agreement Lord Vader. #ParkChat
