Why do national parks need WNPA Park Protectors?

- Improving parks with exhibits, educational signage, and benches.
- Helping park rangers create programs like talks, recreational activities, and special events.
- Supporting smaller parks by increasing awareness and sharing their untold stories to help attract more visitors.
- Funding high-level research which informs park managers of the best ways to preserve and protect natural and archaeological resources.
