Balance in the Outdoors
ParkChat

Q7. Of all the relationships in environment and habitat, is there a balance (e.g., Polar Bears and The Ice Cap), that you find most striking in our Parks and public lands? #ParkChat

A7. The relationship between marbled murrelets and old-growth forests is astonishing. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 #parkchat I was amazed when I learned about the effects that the wolves (or lack of) have to the entire Yellowstone ecosystem. Sadly we're learning more about how the loss of one species can change an entire ecosystem

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 I'm always amazed by how when left undisturbed nature will find a way to work together. #ParkChat


replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 Interesting. I think in all parks perhaps space for humans vs wildlife. Leave open areas so wildlife can thrive. Don't overdevelop human areas. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7. The amazing ability of the flora and fauna to survive the harsh desert is always a striking balancing act! #ParkChat


replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7) Yes there is a balance and to help keep it its fundamental that we all follow the #LeaveNoTrace principles while we're outdoors since it's the wildlife's haditat and we need to respect that. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7: I enjoy pond hopping, which requires water bodies within a matrix of forest. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7: We recently toured a fish & wildlife resource center that focuses on threatened and endangered aquatic species. We were amazed by how important mussels are to our rivers! The livers of the rivers! #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @Shawninthewild A7. There are several that interest me, but I'll choose the zone where water meets land. Wetlands, lake shores, ocean shores. Constantly changing, so much diversity. #parkchat
