Touching little video celebrating our National Parks and highlighting the need to deal with the $11 billion worth of backlogged maintenance that has built up over the years leaving some of our national treasures in a state of disarray.  Hard to even know where to start when you have $11 billion worth of projects but you can learn more HERE and decide if you can help.

“We set out to create this film at the request of NPS & Interior to capture the feeling of our own love story with America’s National Parks. For us, our National Parks are more than sacred places. For us, they are a hallowed ideal which represents the very best our country has to offer its people. It is this fundamental idea that we, as Americans, can pass the legacy of our most treasured landscapes from one generation to the next unmarred by man’s ever-growing footprint which motivates us to celebrate the beauty of these special places. Today, that ideal is at risk. Our parks maintenance backlog has reached a staggering total of over $11 billion dollars ($11,000,000,000.00).
