Jungmaven

is an apparel brand known for its dedication to creating clothing made from hemp, an eco-friendly and sustainable plant and fiber. Hemp is a fuller, more robust fabric than regular cotton, so shirts made from the material are durable, long-lasting, and only get better with wear.

Jungmaven teamed up with Parks Project, a lifestyle company that partners with organizations that support U.S. National Parks, to debut a collection of four hemp-based T-shirts. The tees in the collaboration are the perfect purchase for someone who wants to give back to our National Parks while also wearing something that would work perfectly on a hike in them.

Through the Yosemite Conservancy, this tee supports visitor programs, along with the maintenance and upkeep of over 800 miles of trails throughout Yosemite National Park. For every shirt sold, one meter of trail is restored in the park — about the length of an adult human stride.

The Parks Project notes that “this tee supports the Joshua Tree National Park native plant nursery. With every five Joshua Tree products sold, we support the planting of two additional native plant species in the park,” which is great, given the fact that so many trees and portions of the park were damaged during the recent government shutdown.

Don’t miss out: This is when Glacier National Park reservations open for 2025

Sleep and you'll miss it! Going-to-the-Sun Road reservations open soon

The Garden Wall along the Highline Trail in Glacier National Park.

Glacier National Park is one of those other-worldly places that don't seem real. Thousands of people from across the world flock to see these postcard-worthy sights, so it's not a surprise that the National Park Service has seen to implementing a timed-entry reservation system for entering the park starting in 2021. While reservations can be a bit of a hassle to acquire, they have become necessary in order to manage crowds, protect important resources, and keep park amenities and infrastructures in good shape. If you're looking to snag a coveted timed-entry reservation to Glacier National Park for this summer, don't wait. Here's what you need to know.

Glacier National Park allows visitors to reserve their timed-entry tickets 120 days in advance. Keep in mind, this is different than the entrance pass. Reservations are required from June 13 to September 28 this year. This means that on February 13, 2025, the first round of reservations will be released. You'll need a reservation to go to the west side of Going-to-the-Sun Road and North Fork, but if you're going through Apgar Village, Two Medicine, or St. Mary, you won't need a reservation.

Big Bend National Park will initiate trail closures because of this bird

Park closures to ensue in order to save this national treasure

Big Bend National Park in Texas

The peregrine falcon is a powerful, fast-flying bird of prey that can reach up to 240 mph in a hunting dive. Though they can be found pretty much worldwide, they almost became extinct due to the use of DDT pesticides, which weakened their eggshells. Recovery efforts in the 1970s and the 1990s banned the use of DDT and captive breeding, which led to this beautiful bird being delisted from the U.S. endangered species list in 1999. Though these birds have recovered to a certain extent, they are still a protected species in Texas, which is why the National Park Service is closing parts of Big Bend National Park, one of Texas' gorgeous national parks, during the nesting period.

From February 1st to May 31st, temporary closures will be set in place. The closed areas will include:
