National Parks Traveler Webinar: Slough Slogs And Park Funding

Attend National Parks Traveler's webinar on slough slogs and park funding/Kim O'Connell

There are countless adventures and countless educational opportunities to be found across the National Park System. One of the more fun adventures is "slough slogging" in Everglades National Park. Join the National Parks Traveler on June 6 to learn about this with Yvette Cano, the park's education director and slough slogger.

Along with discussing slough slogs and Cano's other programs in the park, we'll take a look at how she makes it all happen. The key lies not in dedicated National Park Service funding, but grants. And the result is learning opportunities for not just park visitors, but some 20,000 school children a year who enter Everglades to take advantage of the programs.

But not all parks are so fortunate. How big of a problem is a lack of dedicated funding for educational and interpretive programs across the National Park System? Frank Dean, the president and CEO of the Yosemite Conservancy, also will join in the conversation about the role outside funding plays in providing educational opportunities as well as providing parks with a "measure of excellence."

To inspire you to visit Everglades National Park and get wet will be a short video of a slough slog Traveler Editor Kurt Repanshek took with Cano in April.

Please come with questions you might have about educational and interpretive programs in the parks, or examples of where a lack of funding resulted in a canceled or unavailable program. There will be time for questions.
