Rep. Calvert Receives National Park Foundation’s Park Champion Award

Earlier this week, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) was presented with the National Park Foundation's (NPF) 2017 Park Champion award in honor of his longtime support of our national parks and his leadership as Chairman on the House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee.

"I'm honored to receive the National Park Foundation's Park Champion award and join them in advocating for our extraordinary National Parks," said Rep. Calvert. "Americans, as well as people from across the world, have enjoyed visiting our National Parks since their creation. I strongly believe that Congress must provide the resources necessary to ensure our Parks are properly maintained and protected for future generations."

The National Park Foundation, the official charitable partner of the National Park Service, enriches America's national parks and programs through the support of private citizens, park lovers, stewards of nature, history enthusiasts, and wilderness adventurers. Chartered by Congress in 1967, the Foundation grew out of a legacy of park protection that began over a century ago, when ordinary citizens took action to establish and protect our national parks.
