The National Park Foundation is gearing up to celebrate another milestone in 2017 – their 50th anniversary! For the last half century, park lovers have been working at The Foundation to ensure America’s special places remain vibrant, relevant, and protected for future generations. In honor of this special birthday, NPF has collected some of the favorite park stories from their staff. Read all about these favorite places and experiences here.
2016 was a great year for the National Park Foundation and our national parks. Through grants of over $32 million, The Foundation helped protect these special places, were able to connect new audiences to these incredible places, created opportunities to inspire the next generation of national park supporters, and celebrated the centennial of the National Park Service. Also in 2016, NPF added several new sites to the National Park System including Stonewall National Monument and Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument. The Foundation continued to support and expand the Every Kid in a Park initiative to 9 focus cities and also supported 21st Century Conservation Service Corps at several parks in 2016. The National Park Foundation is proud of everything they accomplished in 2016 and very excited for all the great things to come in 2017, including celebrating NPF’s semi-centennial.

Winter is a great time to visit a National Park - just check the website for road closures due to inclement weather. Fewer visitors and exquisite scenery make this season a stunning and peaceful time to escape into national parks.
