Citizens Protecting America’s Parks

The National Parks and Conservation Association sent this tape to people who cared about national parks. Some of those people kept it.

Citizens Protecting America’s Parks is a promotional and educational video from the NPCA — the nonprofit that has been fighting to protect national parks since 1919. The tape came in a clamshell case with a printed label. The back panel was formatted as a membership mailer, with park photography and a pitch for getting involved.

Tape ID: VHS-2025-036. Commercial/promotional release. Condition: Good.

What Is It

Non-profit promotional VHS from Washington D.C. — 1776 Massachusetts Ave NW, to be specific. The kind of tape that went out to members, donors, and people who responded to park advocacy campaigns.

The tape likely contains vintage national park footage that hasn’t been digitized anywhere. No search results came up for this specific release. That’s not unusual for organizational promotional content from this era — it was made for a specific audience and never made it online.
