DescYouth Programs- Create park stewards for tomorrow: To meet the growing disconnect between kids and nature, especially children from diverse communities, both urban and rural, NPT launched two national environmental education initiatives: the Buddy Bison School Program (in 2009) and Kids to Parks Day (in 2011) to provide park and public lands/water experiences for youth, families, and teachers.Park experiences funded by NPT: 1) provide outdoor education using parks and public lands/water as outdoor classrooms; 2) promote health and wellness through outdoor recreation; and 3) promote the importance of park stewardship and conservation.

Form 990, Part III, Line 1, National Park Trust Mission:Our mission is to preserve parks today and create park stewards for tomorrow. Preserve parks today: For 34 years, National Park Trust (NPT) has enhanced the nation's park system by acquiring high-priority land identified by the National Park Service (NPS) and other agencies. To date, NPT's efforts have resulted in the completion of over 60 land acquisition, restoration and mitigation projects for more than 45,000 acres in 29 states, Washington, DC and one U.S. Territory. These have included 47 NPS projects in 41 NPS Units, 3 U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service projects, 3 National Wildlife Refuge projects and 9 state and local parks. NPT moves quickly to select, acquire and protect parkland, often working with partners, including national and local land trust and friends groups, to raise the critical funding needed to complete projects. NPT's land projects vary in size from great swaths of land, including the more than 10,000 acres to create the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve (KS) to equally important smaller parcels, such as the 12.5 acres located within the Wild Basin area of Rocky Mountain National Park (CO). Create park stewards for tomorrow: To meet the growing disconnect between kids and nature, especially children from diverse communities, both urban and rural, NPT launched two national environmental education initiatives: the Buddy Bison School Program (in 2009) and Kids to Parks DayTM (in 2011) to provide park and public lands/water experiences for youth, families, and teachers. Park experiences funded by NPT: 1) provide outdoor education using parks and public lands/water as outdoor classrooms; 2) promote health and wellness through outdoor recreation; and 3) promote the importance of park stewardship and conservation. To date, NPT provides funding for more than 60 Title I elementary and middle schools in 16 states and Washington, DC. More than 80% of students supported by NPT qualify for free or reduced-priced lunch, the federal indicator of low income.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a- Youth Programs:To date, NPT provides funding for more than 60 Title I elementary and middle schools in 16 states and Washington, DC. More than 80% of students supported by NPT qualify for free or reduced-priced lunch, the federal indicator of low income. From hiking to the top of Watchman Overlook at Crater Lake National Park, to canoeing along the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C., National Park Trust is making conservation relevant to thousands of students from inner city and rural communities across the country. Our programs center around our lovable pint-sized woolly mascot, Buddy Bison who reminds kids to "explore outdoors, the parks are yours!" Buddy Bison is not only a tangible reminder that kids need to get out and go, but he also connects kids across the country with each other. Families and teachers alike want to know "Where's Buddy Bison been?" In addition to providing more than $325,000 in direct funding in the 2016-2017 school year to create robust park experiences for under-served youth, NPT provides educators with classroom resources (books, maps, DVDs, lesson plans, worksheets, STEM activities, etc) and a dedicated education team to introduce environmental concepts and enhance school curriculum in the areas of history, STEM, geography, reading, language arts, music and art. As an extension of our rapidly growing Buddy Bison school program, NPT also initiated national Kids to Parks Day in 2011. This grassroots day of outdoor play engages children and families with parks nationwide, teaching them not only about park stewardship, environmental science, and history, but also about the importance of a healthy lifestyle through outdoor recreation and healthy nutrition. Kids to Parks Day has captured the interest of many communities across the country with 456 mayors and 22 governors coast to coast signing official proclamations - many cities and towns hosted events in their community parks to celebrate the day. In 2017, over 1,700 park events were branded as Kids to Parks Day programs and more than 1-million people visited a park on Kids to Parks Day. Also in 2017, more than 20 Title I schools received paid grants through our Kids to Parks Day National School Contest. Our goal for our Buddy Bison school program and Kids to Parks Day is to inspire a generation of future conservation leaders and park enthusiasts. Through spring 2017, the Buddy Bison program has been implemented in the following states: California - 6 schools, 422 students Georgia - 3 schools, 340 students Illinois - 3 schools, 179 students Kansas - 1 school, 30 students Louisiana - 2 schools, 160 students Maryland - 6 schools, 621 students Massachusetts - 2 schools, 70 students Mississippi - 1 school, 70 students Missouri - 2 schools, 111 students Nevada - 2 schools, 77 students New Jersey - 4 schools, 805 students New York - 3 school, 190 students North Carolina - 1 school, 45 students Pennsylvania - 1 school, 70 students Texas - 3 schools, 297 students Virginia - 1 school, 43 students Washington, DC - 20 schools, 1134 students

A Senate resolution was passed and there were 1,735 park events registered at KidstoParks.org. More than 1 million participated coast to coast and 70 school contest winners were selected representing 29 states + D.C. As a result of the school contest, NPT provided park experiences for over 3,700 students. Each park experience was based on the three pillars of NPT's youth programs: outdoor recreation, education, and park stewardship.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b- Land and Park Preservation Programs:NPT moves quickly to select, acquire and protect parkland, often working with partners, including national and local land trust and friends groups, to raise the critical funding needed to complete projects. NPT's land projects vary in size from great swaths of land, including the more than 10,000 acres to create the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve (KS) to equally important smaller parcels, such as the 12.5 acres located within the Wild Basin area of Rocky Mountain National Park (CO). NPT continues to make great progress with our park conservation efforts. In the late 1990s, we were the lead organization to create a new unit of the national park system dedicated to preserve our country's prairie ecosystem - the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. NPT continues to be instrumental in adding critical private lands to other parks including Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, GA; Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary, MN; Yosemite National Park, CA; and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, WV. In 2014, we transferred the title of the Ivanpah Desert Tortoise Research Facility in Mojave National Preserve, CA to the National Park Service to help protect this endangered species. We continue to support the facilities research. In 2016, we transferred the title to 32 acres of needed land for Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, IN to the National Park Service. We are currently working on several new unique preservation projects including: Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, TX Olympic National Park, WA Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, MI Appalachian National Scenic Trail, ME Washita Battlefield National Historic Site, OK C&O Canal National Historic Park, MD For a complete list of all of our completed projects, please visit our website at www.parktrust.org. Recent and ongoing projects include: Arkansas: Johnnycake Ranch (Ongoing since 2003) NPT holds the conservation easement on this 2000 acre ranch, which abuts the Ouachita National Forest and the Poteau Mountain Wilderness Area. The forest is home to 79 proposed, endangered, threatened, and sensitive species. The easement also provides habitat protection for the bald eagle. The conservation easement benefits both the Wilderness Area and the National Forest by providing a buffer zone to ensure the continued ecological viability of these federal assets. March 2013 through March 2017: NPT has been in discussions with a new lands trust management candidate. California: Mojave National Preserve (Ongoing since 2009) NPT is managing mitigation funds for a Desert Tortoise facility at the Preserve. July 2012: NPT took legal custody for facility until it is ready to be turned over to NPS. NPT received donation/mitigation funds for the management of the facility over the next 5 years. NPT visited facility and met with scientists and NPS park officials in October 2012. Final transfer of property to NPS occurred in fall 2014. NPT continues to provide funding for research. Yosemite National Park (Summer 2014 to present) Partnered with The Trust for Public Land to acquire, preserve, and donate 400 acres of critical habitat (Ackerson Meadow) to Yosemite National Park. Colorado: Rocky Mountain National Park (2016 to present) NPT is working with Wilderness Land Trust and the Rocky Mountain Conservancy to protect 32 acres of wilderness within the national park. The house on this property located within the national park will be removed to restore the pristine landscape in the Wild Basin area. Indiana: Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (Fall 2013 to Spring 2017) NPT, with the NPS and two area energy companies, completed the acquisition of 32 acres at the National Lakeshore using funds the companies committed as part of environmental settlement agreements. Maine: Appalachian National Scenic Trail (2016-present) National Park Trust (NPT) has been working with The Trust for Public Land (TPL) and National Park Foundation on the acquisition of an adjacent 1,527-acre parcel of old-growth woodland to benefit the National Park Service's Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT). The remoteness and scenic views make the property an iconic destination for backcountry adventures that combine paddling and hiking on the AT into a single day's outing. The adjacent pond contains landlocked arctic char. The federally-listed threatened Canada Lynx roams nearby along with moose, fisher and black bears. It is one of the largest 150-year-old forest blocks in central Maine. Michigan: Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (2017-present) NPT has begun the purchase of an important historic property to benefit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (MI). The Munising Range Lights and Keeper's House complex, in service since 1908, is owned by the NPS and still operated by the U.S. Coast Guard as an aid to navigation. Behind the Keeper's House is a small piece of private property with a non-historic house. Purchasing the property and removing the non-historic house is a priority for the park because it would likely improve the historic site. Minnesota: Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary (Ongoing since 2006) NPT has helped raise funds for the ecological restoration of this unique 27-acre park on the Mississippi floodplain east of St. Paul, Minnesota. The sanctuary includes spring-fed wetlands, floodplain forest, prairie and oak woodland habitat, and unusual concentration of cultural resources. Funding for interpretation and park amenities was also provided. Through ongoing grants, NPT provides bus transportation for under-served students in St. Paul elementary schools to visit the sanctuary. Washington: Olympic National Park (2016 to present): NPT is working with NPS to protect an approximately 0.4 acre parcel at Lake Quinault. Washington, DC: National Park Service: (Winter 2013 to present) NPT staff meet regularly with NPS land acquisition director to identify critical unfunded acquisition needs in 40 states. NPT will work to obtain donated funds to acquire these properties. West Virginia: George Washington National Forest (Ongoing since 2003) NPT acquired and continues to hold the mineral rights for 5,000 acres of George Washington National Forest. Public Education NPT undertakes and conducts programs to educate and raise the profile of national parks and their needs with the public, park agencies and congressional delegates. NPT circulates its publication, "NPT News" (electronic newsletter) which describes critical parkland acquisitions and related issues. This publication educates the public on how they can help support efforts on the protection of national parklands. NPT also conducts its annual bipartisan Bruce F. Vento Public Service Award event to honor a public servant for his or her commitment to the environment; and his or her service, skill and innovation in support of our public lands; and to provide the public with information on such service. In June 2017, the award recipient was Senator Lamar Alexander from Tennessee. NPT also conducts its American Park Experience Award event to recognize an individual or group that has made outstanding contributions to enhance the awareness and appreciation of our nation's parks, wildlife refuges and historic landmarks and to provide the public with information on such contributions.
