Park Champions
Allie and David Peacock have shared a passion for parks. After a challenging night lost in Zion National Park, they learned how to connect with each other through nature. “The parks provide so many opportunities to connect with yourself and with whatever forces you believe are bigger than you,” says Allie. The Peacocks joined NPF’s Champions Society with a generous gift designated, perhaps not surprisingly, for improved trail signs at Zion National Park. Read more about their journey here.
