Start the new year with a new video!
Drawing Connections: Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
Hurricanes, pirates, and cannonballs: oh my! The newest video in our Drawing Connections series features the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States: Castillo de San Marcos. The fort has repelled many threats over its centuries watching over St. Augustine, FL, but what about the current threat of climate change? What can the fort's past teach us as we respond to this all-encompassing issue?
This is the seventh video in the Drawing Connections series. Check out the playlist of previous videos focused on sites as diverse as Yosemite, Fort Laramie, Cabrillo, Grand Canyon, Jean Lafitte, and Organ Pipe Cactus!
Climate Change & National Parks
Common Learning Portal Group
Your NPS colleagues and coworkers are doing some really amazing work to understand, mitigate, adapt to, and communicate about the impacts of climate change. But there’s some considerable distance between the units of the National Park System. So how can we hear about issues elsewhere, learn from the successes of others, and collaborate on potential solutions?

After almost a full year of quarantines and teleworking, the NPS has become pretty savvy about using digital communication platforms. The National Parks & Climate Change group on the NPS Common Learning Portal is one such tool. The group provides an informal opportunity to pose questions, share advice, and stay informed about new developments around climate change. Its another great way to stay connected with parks near and far!
It's not too late to give another holiday gift!
