TOWNSEND, TN — Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont have been selected to participate in a new science education program, Citizen Science 2.0 in National Parks.

The program was made possible by a $1 million Veverka Family Foundation donation to the National Park Foundation’s Centennial Campaign for America’s National Parks. This new program supports collaborations among select national parks, local environmental science education providers, and local middle and high schools over a three-year period.
