Q1. Bearing Land Bridge National Preserve is one of only two NPS units known to be home to Polar Bears. To us, that constitutes the “wild” in Wild Places. What else helps you define “wild” about Wild Places in general? #ParkChat

Q11 #ParkChat We have been to the wilds of #Alaska but only for a few hours. It’s so inspiring while simultaneously so daunting. No human made sounds but also no help. No rush of civilization but also no signal. How long could you survive and thrive 168 miles off the grid?
