Fans of the Vermont State Park system have a new place to share their enthusiasm: Facebook.
Officials set up the Facebook page where park users can share their favorite parks and their favorite locations and things to do in the parks.
Vermont Forest and Parks Commissioner Jason Gibbs says the Facebook friends are "Internet ambassadors" who help spread the word about the many opportunities that exist within Vermont’s state parks and recruit new visitors.
Gibbs says the diversity of affordable recreational opportunities at the parks must be matched by a diversity of outreach activities.
