Are being “loved to death”
Love our parks, but love them wisely. High visitation is taking its toll, so let's work together to prevent our natural treasures from being 'loved to death.' Adopt responsible visitation practices and advocate for sustainable policies to ensure these wonders remain intact for everyone, now and in the future.
How to Help
Our Parks aims to inspire and educate visitors about the beauty and significance of our national treasures while advocating for responsible exploration and active conservation.
Plan a Visit
As visitor numbers grow, there's a need for better management to prevent overuse and damage to sensitive areas. Planning your visit can help you "leave no trace".
Founded by AltNPS
The AltNPS movement was rooted in the belief in scientific integrity, the importance of environmental conservation, and the value of our National Parks.
Our Parks was founded by the Alt National Park Service, a grassroots movement dedicated to preserving the mission of national parks, especially in periods of policy uncertainty. Their advocacy for responsible stewardship and raising public awareness around the challenges facing our parks laid the foundation for our mission.
By the Numbers
It's clear that our national parks are beloved by many. But with great popularity comes great responsibility. Let's ensure that every one of those visits counts toward preserving these natural wonders, rather than contributing to their wear and tear.
