Giving Back to the Parks
Robert DeckerWhen you purchase my national park artwork, you also help the organizations, trusts, conservancies and associations that support our National Parks. I donate 10% of annual profits to the organizations, conservancies and trusts who use them to raise funds for their ongoing work.
On December 1, 2020 we'll unite for a worldwide celebration of generosity. People around the globe will come together in unity and showing kindness and generosity in all its forms by giving their voice, time, money, goods, and advocacy to support communities and causes.
I'm trying to make a difference by giving back to these amazing organizations that support our National Parks. I feel that it's important to protect America’s special places, and to connect people with nature. And it's up to all of us to pitch in. Perhaps more importantly, we need to inspire the next generation of park stewards.
The mission of the National Park Service is to preserve the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. And my hope is that, in some small way, I can contribute to that mission.
My goal is that by creating these iconic images, I can help to generate awareness — not only of the grandeur of these amazing places — but also for the need of continued protection and operation of the parks. I think that everyone — now and in the future — should have a chance to enjoy the often-fascinating and always awe-inspiring majesty of our National Parks.
My name is Rob Decker and I'm a photographer and graphic artist with a single great passion for our National Parks. I've been exploring and photographing them for more than 50 years! I, 1979, I had the rare opportunity to study under Ansel Adams in Yosemite National Park when I was just 19 years old - an experience that solidified my love of photography and our national parks.
