The account description calls @AltNatParkSer the “Unofficial ‘Resistance’ team of U.S. National Park Service.” (It also notes that it is not taxpayer subsidized.) The feed has amassed over 450,000 followers with a steady stream of tweets about climate change, science and the environment.
Can’t wait for President Trump to call us FAKE NEWS.
You can take our official twitter, but you’ll never take our free time!

No matter our politics: Dems, Reps, Indy, Martian, we all want the best for our parks & that starts with understanding the Earth

We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist.
To have peer-reviewed science be published by our institutions. #climate #ResistTrump

The account has also been an outspoken supporter of the Badlands National Park Twitter account, which defied a Trump directive by sharing several tweets about climate change that have since been deleted.
Keep fighting the good fight, Alternative National Park Service Twitter, whoever you are!
