Aug. 24, 2023 — The Association of National Park Rangers created a Natural Disaster Relief Fund in early 2023 to help those affected by the increasing numbers of natural disasters occurring in the country and the world. The recent fires in Maui, which nearly wiped out the town of Lahaina and are responsible for the deaths of more than 100 individuals, is the most recent. The Natural Disaster Relief Fund is a member benefit available to any ANPR member in good standing.
This is also an opportunity for all ANPR members to help grow the fund. Our ANPR members at Haleakala National Park have been impacted by the fires; let's remind them that ANPR can help. To donate, click here and fill in the desired amount under "Natural Disaster Relief." For information on applying for Natural Disaster relief, contact ANPR Executive Director Bill Wade at bwade@anpr.org, or Board Member for Membership Services' Shannon Wilson, swilson@anpr.org.
