America’s national parks safeguard some of the country’s most cherished natural landscapes and historical sites. With millions of visitors each year, maintaining these pristine environments demands substantial resources and support. Amid staff reductions, dwindling funding, and political threats to sell public lands, 2025 presents a challenging period for these invaluable treasures. However, consumers have the power to contribute to their preservation through strategic purchasing decisions. Numerous brands have established initiatives that allow consumers to support national park conservation through everyday purchases, spanning from specialty spirits to unique glassware and hotel stays.
Spirits and Drinkware That Support Conservation
Wyoming Whiskey, the first legal distillery in Kirby, Wyoming, has been connected to the outdoors since 2012, exemplified by their latest release, National Parks No.4 Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This limited-edition bourbon honors Yellowstone National Park, with proceeds benefiting Yellowstone Forever, the park’s official nonprofit partner. Since the inception of their National Park series, Wyoming Whiskey has donated $150,000 to support preservation efforts.
Similarly, Yellowstone Bourbon stands out as one of the largest corporate donors to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), contributing $1,000,000 to preserve national parks. The brand further supports the NPCA by donating a portion of its sales and releasing special edition bottles featuring the NPCA logo to create collectible items that aid conservation.
Based in Portland, Oregon, North Drinkware produces landscape-inspired glassware, with collections supporting local park organizations such as the Grand Teton National Park Foundation and the Crater Lake Trust. As a member of 1% For the Planet, they commit to donating 1% of sales from each glass to nonprofits focused on public land protection or community improvement surrounding featured mountains.
Hotels That Promote Park Preservation
The newly reimagined Rusty Parrot Lodge & Spa, located near Grand Teton National Park in Jackson, Wyoming, is offering its “National Parks: Explore & Support” package for the summer of 2025. This package includes a food and beverage credit, a spa services credit, and an annual National Parks Pass, along with donations to both the Grand Teton National Park Foundation and Yellowstone Forever. The hotel exemplifies how businesses can contribute to park conservation efforts.
Travelodge by Wyndham, in partnership with the NPCA, offers NPCA members staying at participating U.S. locations a 20% discount. Through 2027, Wyndham Hotel Group will donate 5% of the NPCA rate (excluding taxes, gratuities, and other fees) to the NPCA for each night booked, supporting ongoing conservation efforts.
Beauty and Apparel Brands Making a Difference
Alpyn Beauty, based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, combines clean, vegan, and cruelty-free ingredients with mountain plants to create skincare products. A portion of every purchase contributes to national park restoration efforts, allowing consumers to support conservation through their beauty routines.
HOMAGE has collaborated with the NPCA to create the National Parks Collection, donating 5% of the purchase price of each product sold to the NPCA until April 2026. This partnership underscores the brand’s commitment to protecting places of natural wonder and historical significance.
Conscious Step also contributes to the NPCA by donating $1 for each pair of specially-marked “socks that protect” sold through May 2026, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $1,000. Their products are ethically made using Fairtrade, organic, and vegan-certified materials. By aligning purchases with conservation causes, consumers can help ensure the protection of America’s natural treasures for future generations.
