Thompsons Water Seal forms partnership
to support Grand Canyon National Park
T
hompsons Water Seal has announced a new part-
nership to support Grand Canyon National Park
as part of their VIP (Very Important Places) pro-
gram. Thompsons Water Seal will work with the Grand
Canyon Association, donating funds and products to help
protect and preserve wood structures around the Park.
Initially, Thompsons Water Seal Wood Protectors will be
used on projects such as new log construction at the
entrance station, on Inner Canyon signs and trail bridges,
on visitor benches and picnic tables and on privacy fences.
While stunning scenery and wildlife are the primary
draw for our National Parks, they also have many build-
ings and structures that serve guests and Park staff, such
as hotels, housing, stores, visitors centers, campgrounds,
viewing platforms, outdoor theaters for Ranger presenta-
tions, barns and corrals, boardwalks and more. All of the
National Parks face a severe backlog of maintenance
projects, according to the company.
In 2005, Thompsons Water Seal began supporting the
Cave of the Winds Decks at Niagara Falls USA. This
series of decks takes visitors within 15 feet of the base of
Niagara Falls. In 2007, Thompsons added Yellowstone
National Park and Glacier National Park as VIP partners,
and have been able to help them with a number of proj-
ects such as platform restoration, campground improve-
ments and rescuing historic cabins. CW
Thompsons Water Seal will work with the Grand Canyon Association,
donating funds and products to help protect and preserve wood
structures around the park.
