The Problem
Parks in the U.S. are under threat, facing budget cuts and staff layoffs. Our parks are too vital to be lost, as they protect wildlife, preserve natural beauty, and provide spaces for education and recreation.
Our Plan
Students involved in Roots & Shoots at Global Idea School organized a bake sale to support and protect National Parks. The profits $420 dollars, was donated to the National Park Foundation to aid conservation efforts.
