A6: Whenever you're watching wildlife, remember to give them room & use your zoom! (And if you're a #Yosemite researcher studying tough-to-spot animals like bighorn sheep, use spotting scopes.) #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A5. Never been there, so I don't know. I will do everything possible to avoid this, and plan a few DAYS, not hours, for my first trip there. #parkchat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A6 #ParkChat My own encounter with one of the famous (or infamous!) Yosemite bears. This juvenile came way too close for comfort and kept circling back around.

replying to @brian_heyman @brian_heyman @YoseConservancy @Wild_Tribute Yeah. I wasn’t impressed by that sign - again, my definition of wildlife is seeing stars! #citykid #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @YoseConservancy Tom, pending the type of hike and transportation, highly recommend the 4-mike Trail that connects to the Panorama Trail (long and difficult) as well as the North Dome Trail. Both are exceptional. Yosemite Point is fantastic as well #ParkChat

A7. Beyond practicing #LNT, I drive as little as possible. If there's a shuttle, I'm taking it. And I'm on foot as much as possible. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A7 #ParkChat When we visited Yosemite Valley we purposely planned to leave the car at the campsite and explore the valley by foot or using the bus. We had three perfect car-free days!

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy We always are mindful of #LeaveNoTrace principles at any public land. We take care to leave it better than we found out. We’ve picked up tons of liter, for example. #ParkChat

A7: Use bear-proof lockers & canisters for all scented items (snacks, sunblock, toothpaste, etc.)! More ways to minimize your impact in the park: https://t.co/g7QbnGj57v #ParkChat

A7 I park the car once and lose the keys. Is there some figure on the estimated amount of carbon pollution emitted by cars sitting in traffic @YosemiteNPS? #parkchat
t_jh2009
replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A7) Follow the @leavenotrace principles to begin with along with Boy Scout training of leaving an area better than how I found it. This way I'm helping to preserve the park for future generations. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy @Wild_Tribute Leave NO trace! @brian_heyman does a lot to limit our environmental footprint not just in parks, but in our home as well. Reuse, reuse, reuse & recycle! #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A7. #Parkchat To #LeaveNoTrace in #Yosemite and all #PublicLands we always make sure to be aware of invasive species, no hitchhikers (plants or bugs in bags, on clothes or on vehicle!), no plastic bottles, help by picking up trash, and non-toxic sun screen.
