Dear National Park Advocate,

Park advocates are on the verge of securing an enormous victory for America's national parks. We can't let it slip away.

National parks face nearly $12 billion in backlogged repairs -- that's everything from trail maintenance to visitor center repairs to replacing old and unsafe electrical wiring. Year after year, parks have been asked to do more with less because Washington hasn't made park maintenance a priority... until now.

A new, bipartisan bill to fix America's parks was just introduced in the U.S. Senate, and your U.S. senators need to hear from park advocates right away.

Tell your senators that you want them to support and pass the Great American Outdoors Act -- a major step in fixing the backlog of maintenance needs in America's parks!

Not only is the Great American Outdoors Act a big step in tackling parks' maintenance needs, it would also provide crucial funding for the Land And Water Conservation Fund -- one of the most successful conservation programs ever -- another big priority for NPCA and park advocates everywhere.

Park advocates like you have been working alongside NPCA and park champions in Congress for years to make park maintenance a priority -- sending nearly 100,000 letters along with hundreds of phone calls and countless office visits and social media posts. You've shown Washington that Americans from across the political spectrum will come together in support of national parks. You've got their attention.

Friend, now's the time to make sure the Senate finishes the job.

Tell your U.S. senators to support America's national parks by passing the Great American Outdoors Act!

I know you've worked hard for this moment. Thank you once again for everything you do for America's national parks,


Emily Douce
Director, Operations & Park Funding
