#Gita was tough on us all, but in tiny pockets everywhere things are coming back already

[Scott Burch @scottburchNPS]

Another example of the trails in @NPamericansamoa the lower Sauma trail. Yes, this is a pic of a trail. Spread the word, stay off trails so our crews can clear them safely.

[Scott Burch @scottburchNPS]

Mt Alava trail is a mess and dangerous. Please stay out of the forest and off @NPamericansamoa trails until crews have the chance to clean up after Cyclone Gita.

[Scott Burch @scottburchNPS]

All park trails in the National Park of American Samoa are closed due to damage from Cyclone Gita. Please stay off trails for your own safety and the safety of our crews trying to clear them.

Great short article about how arguing against belief systems is fruitless. Work with people, no matter their views https://t.co/r9Zazi55Ak

If corrective facts only make matters worse, what can we do to convince people of the error of their beliefs? https://t.co/GbTghouxzz

The National Park Service is slyly taunting President Trump on Twitter https://t.co/n0ObjFUz7Z

[Scott Burch @scottburchNPS]

On this Inauguration Day NPS Twitter accounts directed no posts until further notice. Question to ponder #1stAmendment or #insubordination?

The park was honored with the visit of Frank Murkowski, former Senator and Governor from Alaska, and his wife Nancy. Ia manuia le malaga!

11 Murals by 11 schools. The Project we unveiled at the Centennial party is now up in its permanent home, and looking great. Fa'afetai kids!

Malo to @NPamericansamoa for the cleanup today. Look how nice this field looks now!

[Scott Burch @scottburchNPS]

Another coastal cleanup by @NPamericansamoa today. Lots of work cleaning up single use containers left by others
