Missed this week's #parkchat? Come back next Wednesday at 7pm Mountain (the time zone that actually matters, of course) to play along! Or come answer tonight's questions -- you get full credit even if you turn your homework in late here in The Good Place.

Writing to your park or forest service site and letting the rangers know they're valued is never "corny". #parkchat

If not now, when? Join a NPS cooperative association. We'd love the support, but if you love parks and you're not a member of a Public Lands Alliance group, are you even a parkie? (Yes we're going to be that strident about this point nowadays) #parkchat blackhillsparks.org/ways-to-supp...

Join us on the weekly #Parkchat event going on exclusively here on bsky, now that they've fully moved over from The Bad Place. Follow the hashtag and use it in your responses to the questions. We have a great convo going about the issues facing the parks and forests right now!

Seeing things like this... or people offering spare bedrooms to NPS and USFS rangers who were displaced from park housing when they were terminated... or the "Thank a Ranger" postcard program... As Mr Rogers would say, "look for the helpers." Together we will save our public lands. #parkchat

There has NEVER been a more important time to support the parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and other lands. Do it through shopping/donating with us. Or your local park's association. Or groups like Nat'l Park Foundation. But do it. Thanks for the support, @naturetechfam.bsky.social.

For over a century, when the land called, a ranger answered. - Protecting "America’s Best Idea" with #NationalParks. - "Caring for the Land & Serving People" with USFS. - As stewards, guides, firefighters, educators, & guardians of our shared heritage. This week, thousands were abruptly let go. 🧵
