National Park Week – Workforce Wednesday

Today’s theme is Workforce Wednesday. It focuses on all the many, many great individuals who make these parks run daily. These employees, interns, fellows, volunteers, contractors, partners and more all spend their valuable time and energy making these places great for us all! I am so grateful for these many people who each play an important role for national parks! These two photos show two different park rangers – one giving a park ranger presentation at Yellowstone National Park and the other showing us a sled dog puppy at Denali National Park. What’s your favorite memory with a park ranger ? Happy National Park Week!

National Park Week – Discovery

Today’s theme encourages people to find something new by visiting a national park – to discover. I love to learn and discover something new while visiting national parks. The Ranger programs provide great opportunities for both children and adults to learn in greater detail about the park and its’ unique details. The visitor centers also provide a great resource for discovering something new. Stop in and enjoy some fun facts there! Talk to the Park Rangers and ask them some questions. If you can’t get to a national park today in person (it’s a free day), visit one virtually online. Explore it virtually! Whether you go in person or online, what might you discover in a national park? “Learning never exhausts the mind,” ~Leonardo da Vinci Happy National Park Week!

Happy Winnie the Pooh Day 🍯

Winnie the Pooh Day was created to celebrate the creator’s birthday, A.A. Milne. Milne was born on this day in 1882 in London, England. Milne brought this adorable, honey-loving, bear to life in his writings in a collection of books first published in 1926. To celebrate this fun day, go and enjoy a Winne the Pooh book, enjoy some honey, snuggle one of your stuffed animals, host a picnic, draw your house in the woods, or even bounce around the room a bit. “A hug is always the right size.” ~ Winnie the Pooh 🍯
