Here Are Some Suggestions For Our Forthcoming Sponsored National Parks
LatestHave you ever visited one of the United States’s 411 national parks and thought, “This experience would be more fulfilling if my view of this spectacular landscape included a logo for my favorite brand”? If so, you’re in luck!
The Washington Post reports today that the director of the United States National Park Service, Jonathan Jarvis, wants to give all 411 national parks access “to an unprecedented level of corporate donations, broadening who can raise money, what that money will be raised for and what the government will give corporate America in return.”
They continue:
The Park Service still won’t recognize donors with advertising or marketing slogans. But for the first time, their logos will get prominent display. Companies will be able to earmark gifts for recurring park expenses, which was prohibited before. And a company in litigation with the Interior Department, the Park Service’s parent agency, could now donate as long as the dispute does not involve a national park.
Though the parks “won’t recognize donors with advertising or marketing slogans,” their logos will be displayed “prominently” for the first time.
