Nature Valley's Preserve the Parks Program to Benefit Smokies

Commonly referred to as America's best idea, the national parks are awe-inspiring places that provide a deep connection to our country's heritage, and to nature. But threats to the parks and to their funding are impacting park wildlife, water and air quality, and require our attention and support. Leading granola bar brand, Nature Valley is a longtime supporter of national park preservation through its "Preserve the Parks" program now in its third year which benefits the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA). Over the course of the three-year relationship, the Preserve the Parks program will have helped raise more than $1 million to benefit restoration projects in support of America's national parks.

This year, Nature Valley is continuing to help preserve America's national parks while encouraging education, outdoor exploration and support. To get the 2012 Preserve the Parks program started, Nature Valley is making a $300,000 donation to the NPCA and is inviting consumers to help raise an additional $200,000 by entering the Universal Product Codes (UPC) from specially-marked packages of Nature Valley products at PreserveTheParks.com. This year, in celebration of National Park Week (April 21-29), consumers are invited to visit the Nature Valley Facebook page and Like designated posts during that week to help trigger additional donations to the NPCA $1 per Like, up to $50,000.
