When it comes to protecting our most precious natural
environments, EVERYONE can make a difference. Here are a few,
simple ways you can help: 1. When you visit, take care of the
park. It all boils down to respect. Pick up your trash. Leave
natural habitats undisturbed. Keep your fires small. Leave your
dog on a leash. Don’t destroy anything. 2. Write to Congress and
tell them what you think. If actions speak louder than words,
just imagine the impact of action and words. 3. Make a financial
contribution. These parks don’t run themselves. Not only does
park staff deserve a salary, park efforts to preserve the
environment can be quite costly. A little financial help can go
a long way. 4. Volunteer. Plain and simple.
