replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs #parkchat As a park ranger in other parks, I was often invited to dine with the campers. Though I couldn't accept, I was always thankful of their generosity.

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A9 #parkchat I’m going to miss the glaciers. If all wild landscapes disappeared I’d miss the peace and quiet that can be found in a true wilderness area.

replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl @BeringLandNPS I had to be at a Board meeting, and my colleague & left a hike early to get back. But going back on the trail, about 12 bison were suddenly between us and our car! BIG Bison. We waited for a ranger to come create a distraction so we could get by! #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS I could write a book on this question. I’ll go with undisturbed nature. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @BeringLandNPS If you could timetravel back to yourself before your visit to Kobuk Valley, is there anything you would tell yourself to do differently? #ParkChat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer #parkchat Bikes are allowed in @BeringLandNPS, it's considered a traditional form of transportation. However, most of what you end of doing is walking your bike on the tundra. It's not that enjoyable.

Q10) Here’s a toughy. It’s something park rangers and land managers grapple with all the time. How do we inspire others to take care of wild places? #parkchat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS Interesting. I wouldn't have thought of bikes as a traditional form of transportation there. There must be fascinating history or cultural practice. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat Agree, it crushes my soul to contemplate that reality.

replying to @MatthewKCahill @MatthewKCahill @BeringLandNPS How did you manage that? #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A10 #parkchat By taking them to our favourite wild places and teaching them the value of such spaces.

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A9 If wild landscapes were to disappear, I’d miss the stunning visuals, the wild smells, the natural soundscape, and the rough touch of bark on trees or granite under the fingertips. Most of all, I’d miss raw glaciers. #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A9 The question is, what wouldn't I miss about them? I honestly wouldn't want to live in a world without without wild landscapes - what a miserable, awful place that would be. #Parkchat

A10 Beautiful photographs like that are a way to start. Believe in the power of art. It's no good trying to use economic arguments to convince people to save the planet; we've got to appeal to their souls. #parkchat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A10: By taking others to these places and they can see that National Parks are much more than Half Dome or Old Faithful. They are not amusment parks. They are wild and need good stewards. #ParkChat
ParksandPoints
replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A10) Perhaps by understanding how they personally would be affected if the wild places were gone, of what would be lost by not caring for them? #parkchat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @BeringLandNPS Sure. I wished we had found a way to stay there longer. . The expense of that trip made it difficult for us. Remember plane problems necessitated a second trip to #Alaska to finish our adventure. #ParkChat
