National Fossil Day Partners

National Fossil Day is a nationwide celebration organized through a partnership between the National Park Service and a growing list of federal and state agencies, professional organizations, museums and universities, and other groups. Paleontology education programs conducted by various NPS units and partner institutions enable children to better understand the history of life, science of paleontology and other educational objectives through a wide variety of classroom, museum, field trip and outdoor activities. National Fossil Day is currently 420 partners strong!
