Bison and Texas State Parks
ParkChat

Q10: #ParkChat As a new generation, and in a sense, a new culture of park visitors emerge, how can Texas State Parks continue to be relevant to them and instill a sense of stewardship for its varied resources?

A10 I always say, start it young. Educate the children. Instill excitement about wildlife and nature and parks. We all need to advocate for wildlife and parks every chance we get! #ParkChat

replying to @Donald_Beard @Donald_Beard a10 - Ranger education programs are awesome and we always learn something. Thankyou Superintendent Beard for all you do to educate, protect and promote our federal lands and parks and their inhabitants! #parkchat

replying to @Donald_Beard @Donald_Beard A10) While you might try different methods to get new visitors don't let the goals of the park be sacrificed for doing so. #ParkChat

replying to @Donald_Beard @Donald_Beard A10: I suppose Instagram, Twitter. and social media influencers need to play a role in educating, acting responsibly, advocating, protecting. #ParkChat

replying to @Donald_Beard @Donald_Beard #parkchat A10 continuing to speak of the historical significance of bison to America is always relevant. Talking about how they maintain balance in the ecosystems today is a great way to connect them to the present.

replying to @Donald_Beard @Donald_Beard A10: Honestly it’s on us the visitors to spread the gospel of TPWD to our communities, while practicing all the principles of good stewardship and being the example. #ParkChat
