A6 My topic would be on Leave No Trace and Park etiquette. We all need to be reminded and refreshed on this topic from time to time. #ParkChat

Q7 #ParkChat One of my favorite parts of being a park ranger is inspiring people to take action on caring for their public lands. What difficult environmental issue do you think you'd spend a lot of time focusing on if you were a park ranger?

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @aubreylenae16 This was my second choice! As a VIP dedicated to stewardship in our local park, I am especially compelled to discuss this too! Ranger Aubrey, can I have two topics?! #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @aubreylenae16 A6. I'm sorry, but I'm stealing @59NationalParks' answer! 😊 I would definitely be talking #leavenotrace and fire safety! #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 Yes! Especially since science is telling us what the impacts are on our #publiclands. We love the #climatechange exhibits/additions to jr ranger programs we've experienced! #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A7) We think a major topic will be over-visitation. Having to talk to people about why they can't go, that's tough. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 #parkchat A5 lived in a yurt and a house w no running water in the past. No fear here. Cell service is nice to connect w family "Haven't been eaten by a bear yet, Ma!" but otherwise, I'd be just fine! 😁

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @kristarsha @aubreylenae16 Exactly. I think some of our #ParkChat regulars only get on #twitter for this chat.

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip @59NationalParks @aubreylenae16 I've always wanted to put together a display of the litter I've picked up off our NPS trails and beaches just so people can realize the damage that causes. I hope you have props! #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 @Wild_Tribute I’d love to do a history talk on Marjory Stoneman Douglas in the Everglades. ....and I’d like her house to be a park unit or part of EVER. It’s currently held by the state and being refurbished. I have hope! #FindYourPark #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A7. Try to instill an appreciation of the park so they will help to protect it and other public lands for generations to come #parkchat

@aubreylenae16 A5. I don't have a problem with forgoing without any of those luxuries.
I use a freaking flip phone for goodness sake. And. I barely use it.

@aubreylenae16 A6. First, climate change. "If you love this park, help save its future."
Second, I'd play the character of an early pioneer to the area, telling stories from the past, what I saw and did. #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A7) Given what happened to parks such as @DeathValleyNPS & @JoshuaTreeNPS during the shutdown, I would strongly focus on @leavenotrace since we're only borrowing the public lands from our future generations. #ParkChat

A7 I would focus on leaving a minimal impact on the environment while visiting a #nationalpark. Don't leave your car idling. Use solar power to charge your devices. Carpool with fellow campers to explore the park. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A7 I’d want to push for more of what we can do to leave smaller human footprints and impacts in the parks. As a collective of visitors, we need to be more mindful of our presence and what it does to the parks. #parkchat

MattsRoadTrip
replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A7. I have a personal connection to the backcountry and it's designated trails. I would focus on maintaining those trails and making sure that visitors understand the importance of respecting trail designations and practicing leave no Trace principles! #ParkChat
