I Love My State Parks Week
Social Media Kit
Welcome to “I Love My State Parks Week” May 8 – 15
when we share appreciation for our most cherished places – the state parks.
The objectives for “I Love My State Parks Week” are to:
- Increase the visibility of state parks by sharing the story of state parks, benefits to the public, and how to access these places, and the programs offered
- Connect with the public to have them share their memories – stories, photos, etc.
- Increase the visibility of the state parks foundations and their supportive missions
- Engage new audiences to the state parks and the nonprofits that support them
Social Media Toolkit
While NASPF will lead the promotion of the I Love My State Parks Week content May 8 - 15, nonprofits, agencies and corporate partners are strongly encouraged to share content on their organization’s platforms that align with the daily themes and use the hashtags. Guidance and sample posts have been provided in the Daily Theme Toolkit.
If you choose to create your own posts, please keep the following in mind:
· When posting on social platforms, be sure that each post aligns with the daily theme and includes a visual element of some kind (video, infographic, photo, or other image).
· Include the “I Love My State Parks Week” logo with your post.
· Add the #ILOVEMYSTATEPARKS and #ILOVEMYSTATEPARKSWEEK and #NASPF hashtags to your social media posts and engage with us via your personal or organizational accounts.
