The Next Generation Fund The National Parks, especially Rocky Mountain National Park, are at a pivotal crossroads. If trends continue, the baby boomer generation could be the last generation to value and experience nature’s splendor…up close and personal. Tomorrow’s kids may experience nature and the great outdoors only as something seen on a TV or computer screen. Our children are at risk of losing a vital connection to nature and the irreplaceable shared family activities and life-changing adventures found within it. Through the Next Generation Fund, Rocky Mountain Nature Association is setting out to capture the hearts, minds and funding necessary to secure the future of the educational programs at Rocky Mountain National Park. With the Fund’s help we can take advantage of the park’s greatest asset – the ability to inspire life-long appreciation of nature through highly trained educators, rangers and youth programs. Through unmatched learning opportunities, connections to this unique park are forged that will be passed on from generation to generation. It is hard to believe that we have to raise awareness, let alone the funds, to make sure our children don’t miss out on this priceless heritage. You can make all the difference in the world by supporting the Next Generation Fund – a $10 million endowment fund that will be the lifeline between our children, nature and Rocky Mountain National Park. No longer can we take for granted that every child will know the joy of taking a hike, experience the chill of a sudden mountain shower, or remember the sweet smell of pine. Technology and times are changing fast – let’s make sure that the next generation isn’t the last generation to be molded by the profound experience of spending time in nature and in this Colorado treasure – Rocky Mountain National Park. Your donation to the Next Generation Fund today will help keep the next generation connected. Help us raise the $10 million needed to make sure we succeed.
