We love going to our local national park in nearby Lake Bronson. The camping, biking, fishing, fresh air and clean water, it’s our little piece of heaven on earth. National Parks are a treasure that should be cherished by all.
However, these national treasures need care and support to help them flourish.
Years of underfunding and environmental problems such as pollution and climate change are threatening our National Park system. To help preserve our national parks and ensure their existence for generations to come,
join Nature Valley® and Patricia Shultz, internationally best-selling author of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die and travel industry leader, to help support the National Parks Project. This year, the National Parks Project will focus on restorative work at Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Biscayne National Parks.To get involved, simply purchase a box of specially marked Nature Valley Bars and mail in your wrappers to the address below:
National Parks Project
PO Box 450328
El Paso, TX 88545-0328
Nature Valley will not only recycle the wrappers, but will also contribute $0.10 to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) for every wrapper received (up to $600,000 in total).
To learn more about the National Parks Project and how you can make a difference, check out PreservetheParks.com today. And don’t forget to visit Nature Valley on Facebook or Nature Valley on Twitter to “Like” or “Follow” the brand. Facebook fans can enter to win a trip, as well as share photos and videos of their summer vacations. All of these sites will also feature updates on the restoration projects, as well as videos and pictures from “National Parks Project” volunteers.
There are many other ways you can enjoy the natural beauty and diverse wildlife of our national parks this summer while supporting the cause.
The easiest thing you can do to support the national parks is to experience them for yourself and share them with your family – remembering as always to “take only pictures and leave your footprints.” So grab your backpack, your boots and some granola bars and go soak in the scenery.
Giveaway Time
Nature Valley is generously offering one of my luck readers the chance to win a fabulous nature gift pack. Included in the gift pack is a very nice mini backpack, BPA free plastic water bottle, a copy of Patricia Shultz’s 1,000 Places to See Before You Die book, a durable compass and water resistant keychain light….oh and a box full of Nature Valley bars. YUM!
I received a gift pack as a courtesy for posting this giveaway opportunity to you. This backpack is the perfect size for hiking. It will easily hold a couple bottles of water, a few Nature Valley granola bars, a hiking map and small first aid kit. There’s even a spot for your iPod! I love it and can’t wait to try mine out but with winter on it’s way, it’ll probably see more use in the mall until Spring arrives! lol
