Support Your Park
 

The National Park Service cares for America's treasures and you can help.

  • Be a good park visitor. Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints. Enjoy yourself and remember future visitors who will come after you hoping to enjoy these American treasures too.
  • Support stewardship of the park by becoming educated about the park's natural and cultural resources. 
  • Be a volunteer. There's nothing more rewarding than warm thanks from visitors whom you helped connect to the park and its resources!
  • Support the park's bookstores. Park bookstores run by Eastern National donate a share of their proceeds to help fund exhibits and programs.  
  • Keep informed on park issues and provide comment during park planning processes.
  • Be a good steward by obeying park regulations including, but not limited to: picking up trash; keeping dogs leashed; leaving precious resources undisturbed; and not harassing park wildlife.
