Christmas Wishes from Friends of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Wishing you and your family the Christmas season's joys and wonders.
Do you have all of your shopping done? (I don't!) We'd love to help you check everyone off your list, especially friends, co-workers, family members & those special people who love the Smokies just like you do.

You can give a gift this holiday season that makes a real difference for Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

On our secure website, you can put a membership in your shopping basket; in the comments field let us know if it's for someone special. We'll mail their membership card along with a beautiful greeting card. You can support hemlock preservation in honor of your favorite tree-hugger. Give an honorarium or memorial gift that shows your thoughtfulness this holiday season. Giving to the Trails Forever program in honor of a friend or loved one makes your donation go TWICE AS FAR. $25 becomes $50; $50 becomes $100...because every dollar is matched by the Aslan Foundation of Knoxville! Plus, your gift will help maintain All the Trails in the Smokies for All Time. Preserve. Protect. Provide. Wherever It's Needed Most. Environmental education for schoolchildren; preservation of historic cabins, churches, barns & fences; protection for black bears, elk & brook trout; improvements in air & water quality; trail maintenance; visitor safety & enjoyment...this is what being a Friend of the Smokies is all about.

A "Welcome and Thank You" letter from Friends of the Smokies makes a great stocking stuffer!

Oh, and I should probably mention one more thing that I think is really great about Friends of the Smokies. We never sell, rent, or exchange your (or your loved ones') personal information with any third parties for any reason. This means a lot to me, and I hope it does to you as well. 


Thank you again for helping to preserve and protect the special places in the Smokies and the life within them. Have a joyous holiday season, and we hope your 2011 is filled with many chances to enjoy Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
