A9: When it comes to introducing kids to nature, get rid of expectations and just let them play unstructured and relatively unfettered. Oh, and snacks, lots of snacks. #ParkChat
replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A5. I had one day (it was sooo crowded) and managed to get to The Lower Falls, Bridal Veil Fall, and spent the most time hiking down into Tuolumne Grove. Mariposa Grove was closed when I was there #ParkChat
replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A10) You will reconnect with the earth and the beauty of the park will continue to feed your soul long after you've left. #ParkChat
replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy #ParkChat I’d discuss the spiritual and health benefits that one can achieve 𝘝𝘪𝘢 Park travel. With visual aids of course. Great question.
replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A10) I'd say listen Woody Guthrie song "This is Your Land" and let them know it really isn't but in fact we're just borrowing it from the next generation so we need to preserved & protect it for them. #ParkChat
replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy @Wild_Tribute A10) To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt: "Experience the great wonder of nature. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it. But what you can do is to keep it for your children, your children’s children, and all who come after you." #ParkChat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @59NationalParks A11. #ParkChat you know I'm bias, @DryTortugasNPS is my most favorite and the most beautiful place in America but #Yosemite is right behind it!
A12 Next week #ParkChat will celebrate our fifth anniversary on #Twitter. We’ll also be announcing our two newest members to the #ParkChat Hall of Fame promptly at 9 PM ET. Oh yeah. There’s that Founders Roast thing too. Join us for the fireworks. @Wild_Tribute
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute There’s a hall of fame?! We’re 5?! Whaaaaaaat! #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks The Yosemite Valley is not a bad choice, but I'm still a bit partial to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. #ParkChat
replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8 I’ve only visited in mid October and thought the weather was perfect...just crowded bc it was a holiday weekend. Leaves we’re changing it was beautiful #ParkChat
