-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
AMERICA'S NATIONAL PARKS ARE WINDOWS INTO OUR NATION'S HISTORY AND
CULTURE. AND, AS WE VISIT THESE HISTORIC TREASURES THIS SUMMER,
IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE ISSUES THAT FACE THEM.
NATURE VALLEY IS TEAMING UP WITH TRAVEL-EXPERT, PATRICIA
SCHULTZ--BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF "ONE-THOUSAND PLACES TO SEE
BEFORE YOU DIE". THE PROGRAM--CALLED THE "NATIONAL
PARKS PROJECT"--BEGAN EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND IS COMMITTED TO RAISING
UP TO 600-THOUSAND DOLLARS, FOR THE NATIONAL PARKS CONSERVATION
ASSOCIATION, TO HELP PRESERVE AMERICA'S NATIONAL PARKS...
(SCHULTZ):
"THE NATIONAL PARKS ARE VERY REPRESENTED IN MY BOOKS--AND TELL THE
STORY OF AMERICA IN A WAY THAT VERY FEW LOCATIONS CAN, I THINK.
SO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE NATIONAL TREASURES ARE AVAILABLE, FOR
ALL GENERATIONS TO COME. I'M WORKING WITH NATURE VALLEY, TO HELP
RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDS--AND I HOPE [THAT] OTHERS WILL JOIN OUR CAUSE."
(CLOSE):
YOU CAN DO YOUR PART, BY MAILING IN SPECIALLY MARKED NATURE VALLEY
WRAPPERS BY AUGUST 31ST--AND NATURE VALLEY WILL DONATE 10 CENTS, PER
WRAPPER, TO THE NATIONAL PARKS CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION. VISIT
