Clothing Brands That Give Back To National Parks

In the United States, there are around 419 National Parks, which seems like a good number for one of the fourth largest countries in the world. These 419 National Parks have become sites for the conservation of nature as well as eco-tourism. Many senior citizens of the country get a free pass to enter the National Park, and hence, it also becomes a site to explore for the retired citizens. National Parks such as Yellowstone, Joshua Tree, Hot Springs, and Redwood are quite popular. Hunting and fishing, considered a good recreational activity in the US, are permitted at reserved sites in National Parks.                 

Hence, there is a huge influx of tourists visiting National Parks each year. NPS statistics reveal that more than 250 million tourists have visited the parks. Thus, funding for the National Parks is procured based on entry fees and federal funds. Philanthropy work done by many brands is the major source of funding for National Parks.

The article focuses mainly on the clothing brands giving back to National Parks for their conservation and acquiring new land. The funds mainly focus on acquiring new land and making the visitor’s experience a memorable one. The call for private funding began during the Obama presidency to increase fundings for the centennial anniversary of National Parks. Here is a list of clothing brands that donate to National Parks. 

Wild Tribute Clothing Brand

Wild Tribute Clothing Brand was an inspiration from personal exploration in the National Parks of Yosemite Valley, Redwood NP in California, and Yellowstone NP. Witnessing the historic and spectacular natural landscapes, this brand began a mission of giving back to support these National Parks. The brand started supporting the parks by donating 4% of the profits.

The 4% has a significance; the 4 is a homophone for “For” as the mission started for/4 the National Parks. The collection includes a wide range of hoodies, t-shirts, tank tops, sweatshirts, and caps. Park Institute of America has partnered with Wild Tribute Clothing Brand’s 4 Forest Collection, and the proceedings will support planting 50 million trees and protect historic places in America. 

Parks Project Collection

The Parks Project Collection aims to give back to the parklands, educate, advocate, and stand side-by-side with nature activists. The funds they have collected have constructed outdoor parks for children and protected parklands, thereby expanding nature in America. They have already donated more than $1,300,000 for the cause and are not expecting to stop soon. They host a huge line of clothing wear and accessories and have a dedicated gift shop.
