If you haven't heard of the microblogging site called Twitter, then this post really isn't for you. But if you have and you are interested in following some of the voices of NWF, I've compiled this list and I welcome you to follow us!

NWF
I had to start with this one! I created National Wildlife Federation's account a few years ago (not really understanding what Twitter was!) and it has grown tremendously since then. I was hoping to disperse fun wildlife facts and important information as it happened. To this day it offers up tips, actions and other helpful information and is updated by Kristin Johnson and myself.

 So who is behind NWF's Twitter?

Danielle Brigida
(Yes this is me.) Here's a line from my bio: I'm using social media to protect wildlife and the environment, learn, and explore. I am the first to admit I'm a bit addicted to Twitter, so feel free to follow me and I'll gladly follow you back!

 
 

Kristin Johnson
Kristin's bio: I'm in the online communications biz, working to save wildlife and the environment. When Kristin isn't helping me tweet for NWF, she's working on our awesome web team. If you want on her good side, tweet her something about puppies, she's obsessed.
