Parks


Our National Park sites were established because of their extraordinary natural and/or cultural significance to our nation. Visitors to each park should have the opportunity to experience these values and be inspired by a personal connection with these special places. The Fund uses this guiding principle in its service to parks.

We currently focus our work in National Park units in the western United States
. To date, we have ongoing or completed projects in 34 National Parks.
