COVID-19 has impacted the thousands of children, teachers, and families whom we support across the country as well as our beloved national parks. Read the full message from our executive director about COVID-19.

The 10th Kids to Parks Day is Saturday, May 16, 2020! National Park Trust invites kids and families across the country to participate in this nationwide grassroots movement to discover and explore America’s parks, public lands, and waters.

As part of this annual celebration, National Park Trust is pleased to announce the winners of our 2020 Kids to Parks Day National School Contest! The contest winners will receive grants up to $1,000 to fund their park trips which encourage outdoor education, recreation, and stewardship. We received numerous exciting and inspirational contest entries, and are pleased to announce that this year, 109 grants will be awarded to 90 Title I schools to support over 5,400 students in grades pre-K through 12! The selected schools represent 37 states plus Washington, D.C.
