Join us on May 19th for  National Kids to Parks Day! Visit www.kidstoparks.org to register!   We are proud that in fiscal year 2011, 84% of our resources were invested in our land conservation and youth education programs. NPT once again has met all 20 criteria for the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance.

NPT’s mission is to preserve parks today and create park stewards for tomorrow. As we spend more time indoors and as successive generations grow up with less of a connection to nature we need to build greater awareness and appreciation for the importance of our country’s public lands and parks.

Our vision is that ‘everyone will have an American park experience'. To achieve this we seek to champion the acquisition and preservation of critical national, state and local parklands and to build a greater awareness through education - focusing on our youth, especially those that are underserved.
