10. Getting sassy on social media with the Washington State DNR, w/ Rachel Terlep

Listen Later

This episode is about social media at the intersection of science, nature, conservation, and nonprofit work. More specifically it’s about Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and a state agency that has leveraged social media beautifully as a way to get their word out. Our guest is Rachel Terlep, Social Media Manager for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (Twitter / Instagram / Facebook). Note: We had this conversation about four hours before Twitter entered a state of crazy flux on November 17, 2022. Here are some DNR hits: 

  • “Live, laugh, lay eggs and die.” (on salmon spawning) 
  • “Every time you leave dog poop on the trail you’re denying trash cans essential nutrients to fatten up for winter. Heartbreaking.”
  • “Resect our lands or catch these hands.”
  • Here's the Snicker's bar post I reference in the episode.
