Twitter releases new emoji for National Park Week with #FindYourPark

Rachel Kuipers

National Park Week is almost upon us, and to encourage park visits Twitter unveiled a temporary emoji.

Twitter: Celebrating 10 years of making politics even more sound-bitey

Between April 16 and 24, tweet #FindYourPark or #EncuentraTuParque and a park ranger emoji will appear after the hashtag. Check her out!

This is a great way to share your photos from your local parks as well as virtually visit parks across the country via others' posts.

You can also follow @NatlParkService as well as park accounts for great information and photos during the week.

If you're in Washington, D.C., or New York, keep an eye out for 3-D versions of the hashtags. This isn't the first time Twitter has done this — the democratic debate, #DemDebate, earned one in November.
