Put on by the National Parks Conservation Association, the Salute to the Parks and Park Partners Gala offers one of the largest and most influential gatherings involving the conservation and environmental communities. This annual event celebrates America's national parks, calls attention to their needs, and recognizes individuals and organizations whose dedication to the national parks and impact on the system deserve attention.

This year's festivities will be held at the Newseum in downtown DC near the Archives Metro station. Check the NPCA website here to get the latest information on this exciting event.
