Meet the Rangers at Whole Earth!
One of our favorite events during April Is Texas State Park Month is Meet the Rangers. You can join the fun on Sunday, April 25th, from 2 to 4 pm. Texas State Park Rangers will be in our Whole Earth stores to answer your questions about where to go and what to do in the Parks. They have inside knowledge, and they're ready to share. Are you wondering if being a Park Ranger could be your dream job? Ask the Rangers! We know one Whole Earthling who found his true calling talking to the Rangers on a Sunday afternoon. We hope you’ll bring your questions and join us for this fun event.
And while you're in our stores, don't forget to pick up your free copy of the State Park Guide. This handy, informative booklet includes descriptions of all the Parks, their amenities and activities, arranged by region, with a fold out map of Texas highlighting the Parks. The Facilities and Activities Index makes it easy to find the Parks with particular features like cabins, equestrian facilities, fishing, kayak rentals and much, much more. Get your copy and start planning your next getaway!
April is Texas State Parks Month raises funds to help support our Parks through customer donations which in past years were combined with the proceeds from the Banff World Tour presentations in Austin at the Paramount Theatre. Due to the pandemic, there was no Banff World Tour this year. However, the nine year total of funds raised is over $250,000! The money has been used to help with day-to-day operational expenses and visitor programs at the Parks.
For a $20 or more donation, you’ll receive a $5 State Parks gift card, good for entrance fees or purchases in Park stores. For a $50 or more donation, you’ll receive a Whole Earth branded Nalgene bottle and a $5 Texas State Parks gift card. For a $100 or more donation, you’ll receive a Ft. Lonesome custom patch (while supplies last), the Nalgene bottle and a $5 Parks gift card. Donations are gratefully accepted in any amount.
We hope you’ll join us for one of our favorite in-store events, Meet the Rangers, on Sunday April 25th. Get a jump start on your next visit to a Texas State Park!
