Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss. Public Service Announcement | Test space for future ad if donations don't increase. |

Badlands National Park is located in southwest South Dakota, a little east of Rapid City and the Black Hills. Over the years, nature has sculpted this ground into a deeply textured surface of pinnacles and spires.
The Badlands contain the world’s richest deposits of Oligocene epoch fossils. These fossils are 37-28 million years old and include mammals such as horse and rhinoceros. Ben Reifel Visitor Center is open daily, except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. It is located at Cedar Pass on the Badlands Loop Road (Hwy 240), 9 miles South of I-90, exit 131. White River Visitor Center (South Unit) is open during the summer months. |
