“A wonderful spirit of adventure.” That’s how the Peterson Space Force Base Outdoor Recreation team described their recent trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks. 🏜️

Through our Military Family Programs, National Park Trust partners with military installations and military-focused nonprofits to fund outings like this one, giving service members, veterans, and their families the chance to connect, try something new, and explore the parks they’ve helped protect.

Adventure doesn’t have to be far from home. 🛶

For 20 Appalachian State University students, it was a 15-minute drive to Price Lake on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. They spent the day paddling, exploring, and meeting new friends.

The trip was planned and led by students through National Park Trust’s College Ambassador Program, which gives college students the resources to lead outdoor outings for their peers. It helps students connect with the parks in their own backyard and become the next generation of park stewards. 💚

Happy 60th birthday, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore! 🥳

In 2019, National Park Trust helped add the land beside the Munising Front Range Light to the park. The light has guided ships safely into Munising harbor since 1908.

Protecting places like this keeps America's stories standing where they happened.

We heard you've been asking around. 🐦

There's more than one way to support our national parks. At National Park Trust, we protect at-risk park land and help more kids and families experience these places for the first time. Your support makes both possible.
