Hurricanes. Freedom of Information Act requests. Congressional hearings. Wildfires. These are just some of the aspects of writing about national parks and protected areas that keep Traveler busy.
You no doubt have a favorite national park, whether it’s Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone, Acadia, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, or one of the other 400+ units. And while you enjoy insights into how best to enjoy the parks, you’re also concerned about their health and how they’re managed.
While your local newspaper might cover a nearby park, at the Traveler we try to keep our finger on the pulse of the entire National Park System. So one day you might read about national historic trails in the system, how climate change might influence birding habitats, or repairs to Flat Top Manor along the Blue Ridge Parkway, while another day you might learn about proposals to greatly increase park entrance fees, flood damage at Ozark National Scenic Riverways, rebuilding Sperry Chalet in Glacier, or the perilous condition of the Transcanyon Waterline at Grand Canyon National Park.
And we also suggest ways to enjoy the parks with our Day in the Park series, our “3 Days In…” stories, and first-person features on the parks.
Traveler is a growing and evolving news magazine, one with a broad, ambitious vision -- exploring the wonders, mysteries and, yes, conflicts, revolving around the world's national parks and protected areas -- that won't be achieved overnight and can't be achieved without your help. Yet those stories need to be told, deserve to be told, and greater audiences need to learn about them. That's why we haven't put a paywall in the way, and that's why we need your financial support. The more folks who can read about national parks, the greater support the parks will have.
If one of every two readers contributed a dollar per month — just $12 per year -- we'd be able to hire more writers and enhance our multimedia packages and expand our content and how it's presented exponentially and virtually overnight. Please, make a donation today by clicking on one of the buttons below to enable us to keep you, and other park lovers, informed on the health, mysteries, and wonders of the parks.
