To some people, your support literally means the world…
NPAQ’s Parks Connect programs are a natural lifeline for kids and adults seeking peace and wonder in an increasingly fast-paced technological world. At our Junior Ranger, Cadet Ranger, Volunteer Ranger and Park of the Month events, we see attendees slow down, learn new skills, make new friends, improve their fitness and mental health, and leave with a smile. For some, it may be the start of a lifelong love affair with nature—or even a new career as a Park Ranger!
To ensure Parks Connect thrives in 2026 and beyond, we want to expand our capability and extend our reach.
We know that connecting goes hand in hand with caring for and conserving the environment. To make getting out in a protected area a more regular reality for more people, we need your help to take it to the next level.
