Q9 #ParkChat Texas State Parks offer visitors an amazing opportunity for wildlife and nature viewing. With the recent surge in visitation and increased pressure, how should these public lands be managed in order to ensure the resources are safeguarded for future generations?

replying to @Donald_Beard @Donald_Beard A9: The million dollar question. What I'm learning. 1) a mix of being responsible for yourself and educating yourself 2) good facilities and well-posted rules 3) adequate staffing 4) funding 5) more of them (places in general) #ParkChat

A9 I hope the state of Texas will continue to support the parks with good budgets, game wardens, and state park rangers and employees. #ParkChat

A9. The billion-dollar question. More land set aside, more money to fund public lands, and more education for visitors. In a nutshell. #ParkChat

replying to @Donald_Beard @Donald_Beard #parkchat A9 encourage hikers to stay on designated trails, limit car travel if possible or replace with public transportation, expand the protected lands as much as possible to allow a more authentic lifestyle for the #bison.
