This is a free, independent directory of every nonprofit organization we could find that works to protect federal public lands in the United States. National parks, national forests, BLM land, wildlife refuges, monuments, wilderness areas. 241 organizations across 14 categories.

We built it because nobody had. There was no single place to see who is doing the work, what they focus on, how big they are, and where they operate. Now there is.

More Than Just Parks is an independent conservation publication founded in 2014. We cover the policies, people, and organizations that shape America's public lands. 20,000 readers follow our reporting. No corporate sponsors. No party affiliation. No pay-to-play listings.

Every organization in this directory was included on editorial merit alone.

We researched each organization individually using public sources: IRS 990 filings, annual reports, organizational websites, GuideStar/Candid profiles, and direct outreach. The data includes founding year, headquarters, budget range, staff size, geographic scope, federal agency focus, and active states.

Budget and staff figures are reported as ranges, not exact numbers. Some organizations do not publicly disclose these figures, and estimates are noted where applicable.

Organizations can claim their listing to receive a verified badge. Verified organizations have confirmed their identity through a staff member with a matching organizational email. They can also submit story pitches directly to our editorial team.

Verification is free and does not affect an organization's placement or description in the directory.

If you see an error, we want to know. Organizations can submit corrections through the claim process. Anyone else can email us directly. We review corrections within a few days and update the directory regularly.
