The National Park Foundation (NPF) is helping to protect the very things that draw us to national parks: the shared land and natural wonders of our parks.
National parks are places of wonder, wilderness, and wildlife. From vulnerable coastal wetlands to imperiled mountainside meadows, our national parks help preserve what matters most, inviting us to learn, explore, and grow. NPF works closely with the National Park Service (NPS) on urgent priorities to preserve landscapes and the habitats and species within them across the country. Together with our partners, NPF is helping safeguard some of the most biologically diverse and significant lands in our nation.
NPF's support of Landscape & Wildlife Conservation programs and projects range from funding wildlife monitoring to helping establish new national park units. Habitat and wildlife projects help study and preserve the remarkable species that call parks home, while land conservation projects ensure that these precious places are cared for in perpetuity by NPS.
Additional program support provided by Danaher Foundation, Publix Super Markets, and Stericycle.
