Treasure Hunting Made Easy


The National Park Foundation, which is the official charity of the NPS – a fund-raising non-profit working solely to support the NPS, its programs and units – has a magic “Parks Near You” app on its homepage that detects where you are and tells you your nearest parks.  It's a great new way to discover the Treasures On Your Doorstep.



Sounds easy! A visitor listens to the natural soundscape through a glass vessel created by 2012 Artist-in-Residence Andrea Polli at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont.
