It’s been a minute (about 10 years ) since I have gotten to be back in the field, as a natural science interpreter. I am LOVING getting to know my new park, and all of its plants & animals! But I needed help. And thank you iNaturalist for being my hiking buddy & coach!

So, the Erin Gates onesie got premiered today at the National Association for Interpretation & CA State Parks #InterpTech ! Then a friend sent this tweet from National Park Service .... glad the message I have been preaching for months (not really) finally is getting some exposure! #keepunicornswild

Thank you friends for continuing to send me these awesome #unicorn references and paraphernalia! We’ve all got a unicorn living inside of us! It’s time to let them out! #keepunicornswild
