For anyone left on this increasingly deserted app... this annual #parkchat special event is why you haven't deleted the former birdsite from your phone. Make sure you join in!
One of the biggest events of the #ParkChat year is “Spooky Chat” to celebrate #Halloween with @this_is_karley It even has its own announcement so you know it’s going to be fun. Extra credit for those that post in costume. @naturetechfam
