Don’t let anyone politicize public lands.
Our parks or maybe the one thing that unites us. Both republicans and “radical left” democrats agree.

Call out anyone, from any party, who plays political games with nature.

In a mission to make people less scared of bats! 🖤🦇

Join my Halloween Nature Night Hike on 10/16 to see them fly in person and learn about why they’re so amazing (other than the whole adorable flying puppy part).

Btw… Pando means “I spread” in Latin #sizequeen 😂

Jason Wise @jasonjourneyman.bsky.social · 6d

Pando is the largest tree by weight!  But Gen. Sherman is the largest by volume!

But… what if it didn’t really matter because no one thing or person has to be “best” or “biggest” because we’re all connected in the same community of earth?

Anyway…

Less than 3 months since the South Rim Fire in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National
Park, and life has already found a way. ❤️‍🩹💚 #hopecore

Jason Wise @jasonjourneyman.bsky.social · 10d

If @resistancerangers.bsky.social are asking us not to visit the parks right now, maybe we should listen. ❤️‍🩹 #shutdownstories

Also support all your local “friends of” nonprofit environmental organization, for National parks and beyond! 💚

The government shutdown & public lands unpacked... with historical context and a warning for the future. The time to stand up for public lands is t just during a trending issue, but it's *always*.

What the shutdown looked like at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park today. Closed visitor center and entrance fee booth. Lots of confused visitors who don’t know what “lapse in appropriations” means.

Jason Wise @jasonjourneyman.bsky.social · 13d

Same, he needs multiple talkin to’s!

Jason Wise @jasonjourneyman.bsky.social · 13d

📍 Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park looking dramatic for Government Shutdown Eve.

I’ll be venturing back in today to see any signs of said shutdown (which should be pretty basic at this point: closed visitor center and no ranger at the fee gate).

Babe, you already did all that! I believe you called it a “big beautiful bill”.

Guess the location? 🏜️ If you said Monument Valley, CORRECT! 🏃🏻I’ll also accept “Forest Gump running scene”, although despite seemingly everyone else in the place, that’s not really why I visited. Gorgeous spot in Navajo Territory.
