Thanks to those who have contributed to the Traveler in recent weeks. The support has been great and timely! -- Kurt Repanshek, founder and editor-in-chief.

National Parks Traveler has been providing free coverage of the coronavirus pandemic's impact on the National Park System...because that's what we do. Our aim is to reach the broadest possible audience with news of the wonders, and the struggles, of the parks.

The more you know about the parks the more you'll appreciate and value them, and the better experience you'll have when you visit them. That's what underscores our efforts, and why our coverage has always been free to consume.

With that in mind, our thanks go out to those who have donated to our efforts the past several weeks. It's been wonderful to receive the support, and helps as we continue to cover not just the coronavirus pandemic and its impacts on the parks, but our regular parks beat. (If you haven't yet received an official acknowledgment, it'll be showing up in your mailbox in the coming days.)

In the coming days and weeks we'll have stories on interesting places to explore at Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve (complete with videos!), on discussions now under way on how to bring campgrounds in the National Park System into the 21st century, and an interview with Edward Keable, who soon will be heading to Grand Canyon National Park to take over as superintendent.

And, of course, we'll be tracking how, and when, life gets back to normal in the National Park System.

Thanks for reading and listening.
