Did you know the National Park Service doesn't want to perform either an environmental impact statement or an environmental assessment on air tour management plans it has failed for two decades to implement? Are you concerned about a commercial spaceport sending rockets over Cumberland Island National Seashore?

No matter where you live, there is one website you know that follows those, and countless other, national park issues: National Parks Traveler.

Because the Traveler has paid such close attention to the situation with Caneel Bay Resort at Virgin Islands National Park, the New York Times had a writer contact us when she was doing research on a Times story about the battered and shuttered resort.

One reader who sent a $150 check to the Traveler during our current fund drive added a note about our weekly podcasts.

"I have enjoyed listening to your podcasts for almost two years. My family has been fans of national parks for many years, but since the pandemic arrived we have limited our travels. However, by listening to the weekly Traveler podcasts, I am able to visit and revisit national parks," she wrote.

Help National Parks Traveler reach its $100,000 goal to keep you informed on issues tied to national parks and protected areas.

The Traveler has achieved its reputation due to hard work by dedicated writers and reporters and through the support readers and listeners have provided. Simply put, without you, we don't exist.

With less than two weeks left in our fund drive, we are betting on you to help us reach our goal of $100,000. We are so close, with pledged support and received donations pulling us to within $20,000 of our goal.

With your support, you'll be able to visit the Traveler 24/7/365 and won't need to go through a paywall to find out how your national parks are being managed, what threats they face, or how best to enjoy them.

We are extremely grateful to the more than 200 readers and listeners who have already donated. With more than 3 million readers and listeners a year, we're hoping more will put their support behind the only news organization that is dedicated solely to coverage of national parks and protected areas.

Will you join this growing movement to sustain National Parks Traveler's nonprofit news?

Make a one-time $50 donation, or sign up to make recurring monthly donations of $15, and we'll send you either a signature Traveler ball cap, a tumbler, or water bottle so you can not just keep the sun out of your eyes or stay hydrated, but so you can let others know that you support our news organization and are yourself a proud national parks traveler.

And when you spot someone carrying similar gear in the parks, stop and say "Hi" and let them know you appreciate their support of the Traveler.

Who knows, it just might be the editor you run into!
