Welcome from Friends of Big Bend National Park!
Panther Junction Visitor Center Re-Opening:
Friends of Big Bend National Park had the distinct honor to be included in the May 1 grand re-opening ceremony for the Panther Junction Visitors Center. The remodeled center features full length exhibit panels along the walls (paid for by the Friends), accessible restroom facilities and an expanded bookshop. You will truly enjoy your stop there at your next visit to the park. Thank you to the park staff for inviting the Friends to participate in this fun, historic event for the park. Visit our Projects page for more photos of the event.
Peregrine Hill Winery Promotion:
Once again Peregrine Hill Winery is doing a promotion for Friends of Big Bend National Park. This summer, Peregrine Hill wine bottles will come with a special tag, which will contain an entry form for a drawing. The winner will receive a special bronze sculpture of a peregrine falcon titled “The Prize”, from artist Bob Coffee’s Big Bend Wildlife Series. Peregrine Hill Winery donate a portion of their proceeds to Friends of Big Bend during this promotion, and the tags will include information on these special, threatened birds. Thank you Peregrine Hill Winery for your continued support of Friends of Big Bend National Park!
April 2008 Promotion:
Thank you to H-E-B for including Earth Share of Texas as the beneficiary of its April tear-pad promotion. And thank you to everyone who contributed when buying their groceries! You made the campaign a great success, and Friends will be receiving a portion of the proceeds to make a difference for Big Bend National Park.
