Eastern National is the Prince William Forest Park's cooperating association.  They operate the store in the park visitor center to broaden the public's understanding of the park and its stories.  Eastern National donates a portion of the store proceeds to visitor services and interpretation projects. They also help the park provide publications that it couldn't otherwise.  Visit the Eastern National webpage for more information on their partnership with the National Park Service.

For example, Eastern National donated over $2,000 in June of 2008 for the park's 1930s Heritage Days event.  The money allowed the world-renowned blues masters, Cephas & Wiggens, to highlight the event. 
Great Horned Owl  

Did You Know?
An owl's eyes are fixed in place because their large size provides no room for muscle. To compensate for this, it can turn its head in almost any direction and angle, including the ability to rotate its head nearly 280 degrees. By comparison, people can only turn their heads a mere 90 degrees!
