Tell Your FriendsNational Park Centennial
Over 100 years ago, private citizens committed themselves to protecting, and then preserving and endowing, the places they loved as national parks. This remarkable movement – the first in the history of the world – has grown into a national system of almost 400 parks that reflects the richness of the whole American story.
As the only national charitable partner of our parks, the National Park Foundation is convening the thought leaders, strengthening the key partnerships and building the momentum to help create a new national movement for parks that lasts well beyond 2016.
Such a movement, a true legacy of this Centennial effort, will only succeed if it captures the commitment of all Americans. It was private citizens who first saved these extraordinary places, and it is private citizens whose continuing gifts of time, dollars, and ideas will ensure their future. Show your support today.
