Beneath the beauty of Shenandoah, the park faces mounting challenges — from climate change to rising visitor numbers and invasive species — that threaten its wildlife, fragile ecosystems, and cherished visitor experiences.
Together, we can make an extraordinary difference. Your support ensures we can take immediate, decisive action to protect this national treasure for the millions who find solace, adventure, and inspiration here each year.
As we move into 2025, the Shenandoah National Park Trust will invest $1 million in projects designed not just to improve, but to protect and transform the park for future generations. These initiatives will span the entire park, addressing critical areas such as improving trail access, maintaining breathtaking overlooks, ensuring a healthy tree canopy, protecting the black bear population, and restoring vital watersheds.
