replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 @DeathValleyNPS @JoshuaTreeNPS @leavenotrace Since most of the ocean around Monterey Bay is a marine sanctuary, I'd like to see more of it done with the Wilderness Areas so there's as minimal human contact as possible. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A8 About 10 years ago we were at Black Canyon and went snowshoeing with a ranger there. He brought along a book of poetry and read winter-related poetry throughout. Best interpretive hike I was ever on. #parkchat

@aubreylenae16 A8. The #Adirondacks are so short staffed that I have not seen a Ranger in the Wilderness in YEARS. They are usually very busy with SAR. :(

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A9) People can become an NPS Volunteer like me, join a local and/or national organization that focuses on protecting public lands and if that's not possible then consider making a donation to the plexiglas box in the next park you visit. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A9 From home, one of the best ways to lessen my impact on a park is to plan aheadā¦bringing refillable water bottles with me instead of buying plastics that go into recycling or trash that the NPS must handle. #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A8. I have memories of hikes or conversations with rangers from many parks over the years. Each of these specific memories is positive, and collectively have given me a great respect for the ranger ranks. #parkchat
