The Association of National Park Rangers (ANPR) has received a $20,000 grant from a life member donor to: “Take or coordinate actions to defend the National Park Service’s mission and its employees; and specifically, to do whatever is possible to make a difference by the mid-term elections.” Mike Pflaum, president of ANPR said, “This donor is encouraging our members and other donors to contribute toward matching this grant.” ANPR Executive Director Bill Wade said, “We have established an account to accept this grant and all contributions toward matching it, and we will be working with our partner organizations – National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks (CPANP), and the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) for the services they can provide to help us meet the intent of this grant and to solicit additional donors.”

"We're asking our members and willing donors from our partner organizations and anyone else who is concerned about what is happening to the National Park Service and its employees to support this initiative by contributing whatever amount they are able to donate," Pflaum added.
