National Parks Threatened

Our national parks are threatened as never before by air and water pollution, commercial development, motorized misuse, and other dangerous threats.

And a lack of concern about the future of our national parks could devastate some of this country’s finest treasures.

That’s why I’m asking YOU to help preserve our national parks now and for generations to come. Please join NPCA as a member today with a gift of $25 or more.

For more than 90 years, NPCA has been the leading voice of the American people working to protect and restore the natural and cultural heritage of America’s national parks.

And with your help we can keep fighting for the parks.

Our top priority is ensuring that sufficient funds are available to properly manage and protect parks. Inadequate funding has hurt parks throughout the National Park System. In addition to the nearly $11 billion backlog of urgent repair and maintenance needs across the country, there often isn’t money to hire enough seasonal rangers or other staff to protect park resources or lead educational programs.

But together, we can increase grossly inadequate park funding. We can improve dangerously poor air and water quality. And we can halt short-sighted and inappropriate development in and around these magnificent national treasures.

Join NPCA today for as little as $15 - 40 percent less than our regular membership rate! You will receive all the benefits of membership – our exclusive NPCA bucket hat, a subscription to our magazine National Parks, valuable travel information in our PARK-PAK, and much more.

America’s national parks belong to YOU. You must take part in keeping them intact for this generation, and the next.

Please join us and help save our national parks. Become a member of NPCA today.

Thank you,
