Over the years, park advocates like you have spoken up on behalf of the places we all love and supported our work protecting America’s national parks. But today, NPCA President & CEO Theresa Pierno is asking you to do something a little different.

It’s a day to show our appreciation and support for the people on the front lines fighting the Covid-19 pandemic – grocery workers, doctors, nurses and everyone who’s working so hard to keep our communities safe.
