Protect Our Parks,
Protect Our Smokies

A passionate community of park advocates.

We are a group of local concerned citizens who rally at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Townsend, TN, every other weekend. Our mission is to raise awareness about the cuts in staffing and funding for our public lands. The Great Smoky Mountains is the most visited US national park. Over 11.5 million people visited GSMNP in 2025.
