Every National Park Magic ornament is inspired by the majesty of our nation's parks and graced with our signature Arrowhead Charm—a symbol of your contribution to preserving these public lands.
Friends of the Smokies is a nonprofit organization that supports the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Founded in 1993, it aims to assist the park by raising funds and awareness to help preserve and protect the park’s natural and cultural resources.
The organization funds a wide range of projects, including wildlife conservation, historic preservation, education programs, and trail maintenance.
Friends of the Smokies works closely with the National Park Service to identify critical needs within the park and provides financial support through donations, memberships, and fundraising events.
Their efforts help ensure that the park remains a cherished natural area for future generations to enjoy.
In 2012, Friends of the Smokies, alongside a generous matching gift from the Aslan Foundation in Knoxville, established the Trails Forever endowment.
This initiative has flourished, amassing over $6 million and funding a full-time trail crew.
Their crucial work focuses on reconstructing and rehabilitating the park’s most heavily impacted trails, making Trails Forever the fastest growing endowment in the National Park System.
Each of our ornaments is adorned with an Arrowhead Charm, a meaningful emblem that goes beyond mere decoration. As you unwrap these treasures each Christmas, let the charm serve as a heartfelt reminder of the significant role you play in preserving our national parks.
This charm does more than just represent our brand; it symbolizes your direct impact and commitment to the enhancement and conservation of these precious natural treasures.
By choosing National Park Magic, you’re directly contributing to the growth of the Trails Forever endowment, aiding in the monumental task of repairing all trails in the Smokies for all time. Your support ensures that these trails remain safe, accessible, and beautiful for generations to come.
Our ornaments are a celebration of nature’s wonders, and with your help, we can give back to the parks that inspire us all. Join us in our mission to ensure the preservation and enjoyment of our national parks for all time.
Thank you for standing with us and the parks.
