国家公园基金会宣布1200万美元创新资助：30个项目惠及40多座国家公园
国家公园基金会（National Park Foundation）10月21日宣布，向第二批30个创新项目发放共1200万美元资助，受益国家公园超过40座。该基金会是美国国家公园管理局的官方非营利慈善伙伴。加上今年早些时候首批18个项目、逾1000万美元、覆盖21座公园的资助，基金会2026年创新项目投入已接近2500万美元。本批项目聚焦自然资源管理、公共安全、解说服务与游客信息无障碍，旨在针对各公园的具体问题形成可推广复制的解决模式。本批项目包括：为Mount Rainier、North Cascades与Olympic三座国家公园开发超级智能灾害预报系统，综合天气、水文、积雪、植被与雷击数据，辅助公园就区域关闭、人员配置、应急响应与游客安全作出决策，该项目由Washington's National Park Fund与国家公园管理局科学家团队合作实施；Lincoln Presidential Foundation连接Illinois、Indiana、Kentucky三州六处国家公园管理局场所，建立虚拟导览、三维记录与多语种无障碍游览网络；Rocky Mountain Conservancy在Rocky Mountain National Park以热红外航测监测驼鹿种群；Chalon Indian Council of Bakersfield在Pinnacles National Park推进原住民共同管理，培训部落成员进行低影响考古探测与文化监测；Independence Historical Trust为Independence National Historical Park设立无人机项目，服务大型活动、紧急情况与历史建筑检查。基金会首席项目官Mike Reynolds表示，国家公园的未来取决于持续创新。本批出资方包括Lilly Endowment Inc.、The Ball Foundation、Arconic Foundation等。基金会2026年共收到200多份项目提案，计划未来数月启动2027年度征集；2025年其在全美资助的公园重点项目总额达1亿美元。
National Park Foundation Awards $12 Million in Innovation Grants: 30 Projects to Benefit More Than 40 National Parks
The National Park Foundation announced on October 21 that it has awarded $12 million to a second cohort of 30 innovation projects benefiting more than 40 national parks across the United States. The foundation is the official nonprofit charity partner of the National Park Service. Together with a first cohort earlier in 2026 — 18 grants totaling more than $10 million across 21 parks — the foundation's innovation investment in 2026 now stands at nearly $25 million. The new projects focus on natural resource management, public safety, interpretation, accessible visitor information and partnerships. Each is designed to solve a site-specific problem and produce a model that can be scaled to other parks, and participating parks and partners will work in learning groups with the foundation and the National Park Service. Funded projects include an artificial-intelligence hazard forecasting system for Mount Rainier, North Cascades and Olympic national parks, developed by Washington's National Park Fund with the Park Service's North Coast and Cascades Network and scientists, using weather, hydrologic, snowpack, vegetation and lightning-strike data to guide decisions on closures, staffing, emergency response, infrastructure protection and visitor safety. The Lincoln Presidential Foundation will connect six Park Service sites in Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky that tell the story of Abraham Lincoln through a shared network of virtual tours, 3D documentation and multilingual, accessible self-guided experiences. The Rocky Mountain Conservancy will establish thermal infrared aerial survey protocols at Rocky Mountain National Park to monitor moose populations and inform wildlife management and wetland restoration. The Chalon Indian Council of Bakersfield will advance tribal co-stewardship at Pinnacles National Park by training Chalon Indian Nation members in low-impact archaeological sensing and cultural monitoring, and the Independence Historical Trust will build a drone program at Independence National Historical Park for large events, emergencies and inspecting roofs and other hard-to-reach features of historic buildings. Mike Reynolds, the foundation's chief program officer, said national parks have always represented a bold idea and that their future depends on continued innovation. Funders of the round include Lilly Endowment Inc., The Ball Foundation and the Arconic Foundation, along with individual donors. The foundation received more than 200 unique proposals in 2026 and plans a call for 2027 projects in the coming months. In 2025, it funded $100 million in on-the-ground priority projects nationwide, spanning infrastructure, restoration, education and access. The foundation said the innovation program is intended to let individual parks test new tools and approaches, from super intelligence and aerial surveying to digital interpretation, and then share what works across the park system through the program's learning groups.
