A message from the Director

Dear Friends,

As enthusiasts for our shared lands, I’d like to make you aware of two wonderful opportunities.

Our friends at Wolf Trap have produced an exquisite television special that will reinvigorate your pride in America. “Dance in America: Wolf Trap’s Face of America” is a 90-minute, high definition, experience showcasing the grandeur of America’s national parks through innovative artist performances and the art of camera. The special features breathtaking aerial dancing off cliffs of Yosemite, rhythmic underwater dancing at the Coral Reef National Monument, and more. Tune in to PBS on Monday, April 21, 2008 at 10pm (ET). To learn more, visit HERE.


Take Pride in America® is kicking off the second leg of the “VolunTour Across America,” a Toyota-sponsored, nationwide tour promoting volunteerism on public lands. During the next three weeks, Take Pride staff will join with hundreds of Americans as we travel through ten states on this service/ media blitz! Consider joining us for a Take Pride in America service event in your community. To learn more about the VolunTour and other opportunities to volunteer, visit www.TakePride.gov, and to learn more about Toyota’s sponsorship, visit HERE.




In pride to America,
