Dear Friend of the Parks,

We have won some important victories for national parks lately.

NPCA and dedicated friends like you have helped us restore Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in 44 states … stop a massive groundwater mining project that would have drained an aquifer essential to the health of fragile desert parks in California … and convince Congress to approve significant new investments in park infrastructure.

Now you can do even more good for your national parks because of this great news:

To celebrate NPCA’s 2022 Membership Month, a member of our Board of Trustees has offered to match all contributions made by June 30 — up to a total of $100,000!

Will you give us a head start by becoming the newest NPCA member today, Friend of the Parks? Your generous Membership Month Challenge gift today will go twice as far to protect and enhance national parks for our children, grandchildren and all who follow. And when you join today, we'll send an NPCA bucket hat as our thank you gift to you!

DONATE BY JUNE 30 TO DOUBLE YOUR
IMPACT FOR NATIONAL PARKS.

As an NPCA member, you will enjoy exclusive benefits, including a subscription to our award-winning National Parks magazine, the Park-Pak which is our exclusive travel information kit, invitations to join our expertly guided tours that showcase America’s natural and cultural heritage, an NPCA bucket hat and more! Best of all, your support will help shape a better future for our parks.

Your Membership Month gift and its matching funds will help NPCA defend and build on our recent victories. Otherwise, our hard-won progress could be reversed — leaving your beloved national parks vulnerable to irreversible damage.

For example, in February a federal district court struck down a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision to remove federal protections for gray wolves. NPCA was a plaintiff in this case, and this ruling provides tremendous hope for the future of these beautiful animals whose survival depends on park habitats.

But this fight isn’t over. And we are counting on the continued support of loyal NPCA members like you to help us keep the pressure on the federal government to commit to the full recovery of this iconic American species.

Help protect your national parks — and their remarkable wildlife — by joining NPCA with your most generous Membership Month Challenge gift today so it can be MATCHED 100%.

Your special gift today will also go twice as far to help NPCA ensure that a portion of the infrastructure funding we won last year is used to reduce the millions of wildlife-vehicle collisions that occur in and near national parks. Creating wildlife crossings will make national parks safer for visitors and the amazing wildlife species that call these places home.

And you’ll help us press the federal government to address the alarming impacts of mining operations on national park lands in Alaska. A recent analysis found more than 8,000 spills associated with five major mines in Alaska have released more than 2.3 million gallons and 1.9 million pounds of toxic materials, including hazardous cyanide and hydrochloric acid, into the environment.​ It’s time to stop poisoning our parks!

Please make the most of this special matching gift offer by June 30. Join NPCA today and every $1 you give will become $2 to defend the parks you love!

Thank you for your support.

With gratitude,

Theresa Pierno
President and CEO

P.S. The victories you’ve won have safeguarded the scenic beauty, wildlife, and historic and cultural treasures of our national parks — and I cannot thank you enough. But with urgent threats like climate change continuing to imperil the park legacy we hope to leave to future generations, we have to remain vigilant.

Please become our newest NPCA member today while your tax-deductible gift will be matched, dollar for dollar and provide DOUBLE the support for our urgent park protection efforts.
