National Park Service Announces Community-Based Projects for Assistance in 2012

We are pleased to announce that National Park Service staff will be helping on over 200 great projects with community-based partners across the country in 2012. 

In each of these efforts, neighbors are working together to create sustainable communities that give every American places to walk, ride, paddle, and explore and connect with nature. The National Park Service is privileged to help them envision and create those places. 
 
These new efforts being implemented by our partners help bring the National Park Service to communities that may not otherwise be connected with the national park system. 
 
See what's taking shape in your state, and contact your nearest RTCA staff member if you would like to discuss how the National Park Service could help you get your community better connected to nature. You can also join the discussion by visiting our Facebook page
