Apple: 103 Years of National Parks

This August marks 103 years of the US National Park Service. To celebrate, Apple has introduced several new ways for its customers to enjoy and support America’s parks.

From 17-25 August, Apple will make a $10 donation to the National Park Foundation for the first 100,000 purchases made with Apple Pay at an Apple Store, on apple.com or on the Apple Store app in the US.

On 25 August, Apple Watch users around the world can earn an Activity award and animated stickers for Messages inspired by Grand Canyon National Park’s 100th anniversary. To participate, users need only record a walk, run, hike or wheelchair workout of at least three miles — the distance of the Santa Monica Mountain park’s popular South Kaibab Trail to Cedar Ridge and back.
