Another way to celebrate Earth Day this week…. See Disneynature’s “Bears” and Support NPF
See Disneynature’s latest film, “Bears,” which was filmed in national parks on the Alaska Peninsula. For every ticket sold April 18-24, Disneynature will make a donation to NPF to protect wildlife and wild places across America’s National Park System.
In an epic story of breathtaking scale, Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure “Bears” showcases a year in the life of a momma bear and her two impressionable young cubs as they are taught life’s most important lessons. “Bears” captures the fast-moving action and suspense of life in one of the planet’s last great wildernesses—Alaska! Directed by Alastair Fothergill (“Earth,” “African Cats” and “Chimpanzee”) and Keith Scholey (“African Cats”), “Bears” is in theaters now, to celebrate Earth Day.
You can read a full review of the movie and learn some fun facts from BRM Co-Founder, Tiffany, here. You can check out a clip of this amazing momma bear and her precious cubs below.

State Parks in Louisiana
Spring is the perfect season to visit your local State park for a fun weekend trip with the family. Louisiana has nearly two dozen state parks that offer plentiful opportunities for outdoor fun. From fishing, boating, paddling, some of the finest bird watching in the country, nature hikes, scavenger hunts and water sports, there is something for everyone at our State parks.

From diverse wildlife and iconic landscapes to vibrant culture and rich history. Louisiana is not called the “Sportsman’s Paradise” for nothin’.
