National Parks Conservation Association Helps Maintain Our National Parks
By Genevieve Thomson
Keeping our national parks and forests safe is the duty
of the National Parks Conservation Association. They
are intent on protecting our natural treasures, so that
future generations may enjoy them as well.
It is important to remember, however, that the NPCA
cannot do this alone. They have made clear the need
for Americans to help them. If we want to continue to
enjoy the benefits and beauty our national parks have
to offer, we will have to do our part as well to keep
them alive and thriving.
The most direct way to help the National Parks Conservation
Association protect our national parks and monuments
is to become a member. Membership is given to anyone
who wants to join with a minimum $15 donation. All donations
go towards the NPCA’s goal of improving our national
parks.
Benefits Of Membership Include Free Travel Guides
And Guided Tours
Along with the comfort of knowing your money is going
towards a great cause, you receive the benefits of free
travel guides, maps, newsletters, and invitations to
special NPCA guided tours of your favourite national
parks and monuments.
If you’re a little light in the pocketbook but still
want to help, don’t fret. The National Parks Conservation
Association has many other suggestions for you such
as their Spring Cleaning campaign. You don’t have to
do it by yourself either. Try getting a group of your
friends together to contribute or see if your company
would like to make a donation.
Making Donations To NPCA
It’s spring and it’s a good time to get rid of any
unwanted clutter around the house. Throw a yard sale
and donate a percentage of your sales to the NPCA. While
you’re at it, print out one of their petitions from
their website (www.npca.org)
to have anyone who drops by sign to improve the air
quality in our national parks and forests.
If you don’t have enough clutter to warrant a sale,
you can sign one of the National Parks Conservation
Association’s petitions on your own. One such petition
is named the Fix Our Parks Pledge. This purpose of this
pledge is to make the government and the general public
aware of the impending crisis of underfunding and pollution
plaguing our national parks and monuments.
Goal Is For 50,000 Pledgers By 2016
By the National Park System’s 100th birthday in 2016,
the goal is to have fifty thousand pledgers who’ll reach
out and write the President, Congress, and local newspapers
asking to support our national parks by funding programs
that’ll save these wonderful areas before it’s too late.
If you feel that you can’t come up with a letter eloquent
enough to write to the President or your member of Congress,
the NPCA provides pre-written letters as well where
all you have to do is sign the bottom. Saving our national
parks and forests has never been so easy.
Supporting Local Park Issues
The National Parks Conservation Association’s causes
aren’t so broad that they ignore local park issues.
Whether it is petitioning the increase in daily snowmobile
access at Yellowstone National Park, or updating signs
and washroom access at the National Mall in Washington
D.C., you can find the NPCA involved in upholding the
standards of these parks.
To find more information on the National Parks Conservation
Association, call 1-800-628-7275 or visit www.npca.org.
You will discover their many successes and their hopes
for the future and find ways that you can be a part
of the park’s future success.
If we want to preserve these parks for future generations,
we are all going to have to take an active role in keeping
these parks alive.

Little Known Facts About National Parks.....
Is the National Park Service involved in any research or preservation activities?
The National Park Service is affiliated with a wide variety of
scientists from many different fields who are performing innovative research into
environmental preservation. The NPS recognizes that the hands-off management style
employed throughout most of the 20th century is not sufficient, and now seeks to
take a much more proactive role in preservation, not only at the parks
but globally.
