Protect and Enhance Your OBX National Parks

Our Outer Banks national parks continue to face challenges like adapting to a changing coastline, preserving the many historic structures they manage, and budget cuts that further restrict staffing at a time when our parks continue to see high levels of visitors.

Our goal is to help connect you to meaningful ways you can support our parks as they confront these challenges and work to continue providing engaging experiences for you and your friends and family – and our parks need your support now more than ever.

One of the ways we are preparing for our parks greatest needs is by creating a Parks Forever Fund that will allow us to pool funds from each of you, as well as our local business partners, to be able to adapt to immediate needs as they arise and create a sustainable way to address longer-term needs.

When you make a gift to our Parks Forever Fund, you will be supporting important initiatives like:

• Education and preservation through the creation of internships that engage the next generation in protecting our parks and the stories they tell, increasing our parks’ capacity to provide amazing experiences for you and your loved ones.
• Restoration and conservation of our unique barrier islands through much-needed invasive plant species removal.
• Enhancing the visitor experience by funding projects that address the needs of visitors of all ages and abilities, so everyone can learn about and enjoy the rich history and beauty of these places.

We know how much you love the Outer Banks, and that you have special memories of your time here. We hope you will continue your impact on these special places and leave a legacy in the Outer Banks by making a gift today to our Parks Forever Fund.
