Make a Gift of Stock Today!   An outright gift of appreciated securities, or stock, to National Park Trust is a quick and easy way to make a meaningful gift, avoid the capital gains tax and receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift. Contact us for more details!   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.

These two minutes can not adequately express our thanks for everything that you helped us to accomplish this past year. But we certainly tried! So take a break from the hustle and bustle of the season, turn up the volume on your computer and enjoy these images with our deepest thanks and appreciation.

On behalf of the Board and staff of National Park Trust, Happy Holidays! We look forward to working with you in 2012!

Consider making a gift today!
