Funds at Work: Supporting Mammoth Cave National Park’s Night Sky Programming

In 2023, Eastern National’s assistance totaling $15,095 supported Mammoth Cave National Park’s night sky programming with the receipt of a telescope camera, laser collimator, and alpha-solar telescope. Additional funds purchased Junior Ranger badges and informational books, such as Basher History National Parks and History Comics National Parks, to help rangers develop interpretive and educational programs. New products for river activities, such as kayaks and life jackets, help facilitate the Blue Ways roving interpretive program on the Green River. Staff will interact with visitors on the river through impromptu interpretative programming and safety messages.
