Expansion of youth and family programs make it possible for those of all backgrounds to visit the parks, learn to care for and protect park resources, and guide the next generation of stewards.
THESE PARKS BELONG TO ALL OF US
Sadly, Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks are woefully underfunded. Your support fills the critical gaps. Together with donations from other individuals, families, foundations, and corporations, we make a real and impressive impact. Be a part of the growing and ongoing force for good for our iconic national parks. These parks are yours!
THANK YOU. During the past year, you’ve funded MANY of the parks’ 2016 priority projects. The parks are so grateful for your philanthropic support. Our work continues in 2017! Superintendents worked with our team to deliver their priority projects for 2017.
Dark skies allow us to observe the cosmos and where we fit within it…With dark skies, you’ll see the Milky Way, more shooting stars, and faint satellites crossing the skies. We have an opportunity to significantly enhance the dark skies over Olympic National Park. You can help us make that happen. — Sarah Creachbaum, Superintendent, Olympic National Park
