Join NPCA and park supporters across the country on August 25 as we come together – online and in person – to speak out for America’s national parks.
Take Action
Stand With Park Staff
National parks deserve to be fully protected. The health of our national parks depends on a strong and well-supported park staff. Sign the petition urging President Trump and Interior Secretary Burgum to protect our national parks.
Take ActionOur national parks showcase the best of America’s 250-year legacy, our shared history and what unites us. On this milestone anniversary, we’re standing up for our national parks — because America without them is unimaginable.
Standing up for parks means standing up for National Park Service staff. Show your support for the people who maintain trails, search and rescue, greet you at the gate, put on educational programs and make every visit unforgettable.
See your advocacy in action – we’re delivering the signatures on our petition to the administration on our upcoming Day of Action.
Check out some of our advocacy resources below that you can use today and every day to make a difference in protecting America’s national parks! Parks need your help in the fight to preserve our shared history and heritage.
