Welcome to “I Love My State Parks Week” Join us and share your appreciation for our most cherished places – the state parks.
All National Association of State Parks Foundations (NASPF) members, state parks foundations, friends' groups, state park agencies, and partners are invited and encouraged to share and amplify the “I Love My State Parks Week” content and daily themes on their own social platforms with the help of the Social Media Kit.
“I Love My State Parks Week” ends with a Day of Service on Saturday, May 16.
We offer a Proclamation Template to engage your governors and local public officials to designate May 10 - 16, 2026 as “I Love My State Parks Week”.
We are encouraging State Parks Foundations and Friends groups to host in-park events and post photos and use the hashtags: #ILOVEMYSTATEPARKS, #ILOVEMYSTATEPARKSWEEK , and #NASPF and use graphics provided in the Social Media Kit.
The National Association for State Park Foundations provides a national voice as advocates for all state parks. There are more than 8,500 state parks and forests covering 18.6 million acres with 52,600 miles of trails. NASPF supports and advocates for the army of volunteers and Friends groups that help care for these state parks and forests. As a 501(c)(3) incorporated organization, NASPF connects, builds, elevates, and empowers these member statewide non-profit partners of America’s state parks and advocates for them. Full membership is open to all nonprofit groups directly supporting their state parks and affiliate membership is open to individuals, other organizations, and corporate entities that want to support our mission and goals.
