Nature Valley Park Project and Giveaway

Growing up, I was never introduced to the wonders of our nations natural parks.  Though my husband wanted to treat our children to the wonders that they hold.  Last year we headed out to Las Vegas and ended up going to a couple of National Parks (yes, we drove a lot).  I was so amazed with the colors on the rocks in the picture to the left.  I believe it was taken at Death Valley.  We only spent a day there and didn't even see 1/4 of it.  Though we did make sure to check out the salt flats....they are salty (see awesome pic to the left).  Don't ask how I know.  LOL

I was amazed with the wonder of each National Park that my family has visited in the past few years including Yellowstone, Badlands, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Everglades, and Mammoth Cave just to name a few.

 The sad thing is that these national parks are changing and Nature Valley is wanting to help preserve them.  How?  Read on.

To help preserve our national parks and ensure their existence for generations to come, join Nature Valley® and Patricia Shultz, internationally best-selling author of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die and travel industry leader, to help support the National Parks Project. This year, the National Parks Project will focus on restorative work at Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Biscayne National Parks. 

To get involved, simply purchase a box of specially marked Nature Valley Bars and mail in your wrappers to the address below:
