replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A9 I don't have kids, but I always say read books ahead of time and discuss what you will see and do! #librarian #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A9. #Parkchat I think we should utilize the fact that they are on the screens already and do scavenger hunts like have them take photos and collect data of plants and animal species with their devices so they are engaged and learning hands on.

A9 I haven't the foggiest idea how to get kids excited about anything #parkchat

A9) I think that letting them connect on their level. As kids, we always were most excited to do a ranger talk and the Jr. Ranger program stuff first. Then, when we would be good with scenic vistas and wildlife viewing. #parkchat https://t.co/V6UWoZNu1h

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A9. We've always found that giving our kids unstructured time in nature is one of the best strategies. #ParkChat

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

A9 If the kids are anything like my students, I would say, "This will all be on the final." #parkchat
