About Us

Who We Are

National Park Trust is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to protecting park land and connecting people to the outdoors. Since 1983, we have protected critical parklands across the country, completing 74 projects that have benefited 57 national park sites. As we celebrate the 250th birthday of our country, we are pleased to share that 31 of our projects have preserved national park historic and cultural sites that represent defining moments in our country.

At the same time, we expand access to parks, public lands, and waters through youth, family, military, and college programs that connect tens of thousands of people to the outdoors each year.

We believe these places should be cared for, experienced, and preserved by all for current and future generations.

Our Purpose

By protecting national park land and expanding access to parks, public lands, and waters through education and experience, National Park Trust ensures today’s actions create future generations who care for America’s parks and public spaces. Your support helps ensure these places remain protected.
