Today we will lead the world in commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Twenty-five years after the day that changed our world forever, we will come together to read aloud the names of those lost. Join us live: ow.ly/vJlK50ZIr05
As we prepare to mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we invite you to leave a message of remembrance, reflection, or tribute on our Remembrance Wall.
Your words help ensure we #NeverForget the lives lost, the heroes, and the lessons of that day. Leave a tribute: ow.ly/u4rG50ZIqJX
We promised to never forget.
History books will record what happened on September 11, 2001. But they can’t capture the phone calls, the waiting, the fear, the instinct to help, or the moments that have stayed with Americans for 25 years.
An entire generation has no memory of that day. Let’s make sure they understand why we still remember.
Share your 9/11 story at gsf.us/remembering9-11. 🇺🇸

Four nights from now, the sky will shine with remembrance.
On 9/11, the two beams of light that make up the 9/11 Memorial & Museum #TributeinLight, presented in partnership with @ConEdison, will rise above New York City, evoking the memory of the Twin Towers and honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed on 9/11.
First displayed on the six-month anniversary of the attacks, Tribute in Light has illuminated the night sky each 9/11 since, shining a light on the unbreakable spirit of New York.

Our National Park Week countdown heads to Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park in Georgia and Tennessee!
Established in 1890 as America’s first national military park, it preserves Civil War battlefields and incredible views from Lookout Mountain.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity. Our paths crossed once, in the 90s, backstage at a talk show, and I was completely tongue-tied and starstruck. RIP Dolly. You were a complete, irreplaceable one-off.

As the sun sets over our Tennessee mountain home, we're grateful for a supporter of the Smokies who has always carried these mountains in her heart. 🌄💛Thank you, Dolly, for sharing your love for the Great Smoky Mountains with the world.

Dolly Parton carried the music, stories and spirit of her Tennessee mountain home wherever she went. She was a lifelong champion of the Great Smoky Mountains and proudly shared her love for them with the world.
While we may no longer see her working 9 to 5, we will always love her.
Here’s to Dolly, who made our world a little more beautiful.

Not sure what kind of park trip you’re looking for? We have options.
🌲 Explore nature: Watch bison in Yellowstone (From a safe distance. We’ve been over this.), hike among the giant trees in Sequoia, or hit the trails of Great Smoky Mountains.
🏛️ Explore history: Walk the battlefields of Gettysburg, explore the revolutionary history of Independence Hall, or learn about the Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham.
🌊 Explore something unexpected: Paddle the waters of Everglades, explore the underground in Mammoth Cave, or take in the rocky coastline of Acadia.
With more than 400 national parks across the country, there’s something for just about everyone, and probably a park, story, landscape, or experience you haven’t discovered yet.

New best friends. 🐘💛
Rescued from the Maasai Mara at just days old last May, Kaikai has grown into a confident young elephant. This year, she welcomed a new companion: Bungalu.
From sharing peaceful moments on the riverbank to sandy lounging sessions, these two are rarely far apart. Watching them spend time together is a beautiful reminder of the friendships that help our orphans heal.

Join Kaikai for a milk feed.
Our quick-witted little sprite drinks up to 24 litres of milk a day, two bottles every three hours, around the clock. Feeds like this offer more than nutrition too, enabling quiet moments of bonding with their Keepers.
Kaikai turned one last month and while browse makes up some of her diet, it will be many years before she is fully weaned. A gift from our milk wishlist can help covers a full day's milk for orphans like her: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/s…
