Washington,
DC – April 2020 / Newsmaker Alert / As
part of its ongoing efforts to bring parks to people digitally, the National
Park Foundation (NPF) is releasing a new collection of Instagram stickers
this coming Thursday, April 16, timed with the #FindYourPark Twitter
chat at 1:00 PM ET.
“Parks
inspire all of us,” said NPF President and CEO Will Shafroth. “From the
comfort of your home, wherever you are, we want you to feel connected to
these treasured places. The National Park Foundation and our partners are
excited to continue engaging people with parks digitally in new and innovative
ways.”
In
partnership with its Find Your Park/Encuentra Tu Parque premier partners
Budweiser, HanesBrands, L.L.Bean, Nature Valley, Subaru, and Union Pacific
Railroad, NPF is sharing three great ideas for celebrating National
Park Week wherever you are:
-
Come
chat with us – Join NPF, the National Park Service, the Department
of the Interior, and Find Your Park partners for a Twitter chat on April
16 at 1:00 PM ET. Join the conversation about celebrating national parks
using the hashtags #FindYourPark and #NationalParkWeek.
-
Bring
your tweets to life – From April 16 through 26, a special limited-time
park ranger emoji will appear alongside #FindYourPark, #EncuentraTuParque,
#FindYourVirtualPark, and #NationalParkWeek on Twitter. It’s a crowd favorite
that is only available for a short time, so use it while you can!
-
Get
stuck on national parks – Beginning April 16, search for National Park
Week or National Park Foundation in the stickers function of Instagram
Stories to find brand new national park-themed digital stickers, the perfect
companion when sharing national park memories.
But the
fun doesn’t end there. Nature Valley, Subaru of America, and Union Pacific
Railroad have some additional tips for national park champions across the
country.

“Rediscover
the joy of nature in your own backyard,” said Nature Valley Director of
Marketing Scott Baldwin. “Tune into the PARKTRACKS
soundtrack while engaging in a fun nature-inspired scavenger hunt or
game of I Spy!”
“Challenge
your friends to come up with the most creative way to promote the Leave
No Trace principles and #DontFeedTheLandfills
initiative,” said Subaru of America, Inc. Senior Vice President of Marketing
Alan Bethke. “Keeping our parks pristine is an important job that we can
all help to support and making these practices a habit is beneficial to
parks and the people that love them.”
“Experience
what it’s like to have park ranger knowledge with National Park Service’s
free downloadable Junior
Ranger activity booklets,” said Union Pacific Railroad Chief Administrative
Officer and Senior Vice President of Corporate Relations Scott Moore. “And,
stay tuned because soon they’ll be releasing a new booklet all about trains
and railroads!”
