Patagonia to donation-match to boost new national park

23/03/2015
Outdoor brand Patagonia is throwing its weight behind a project to complete a national park in the region of Patagonia, which is located at the southern end of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile.

The Patagonia National Park is ready for visitors but a final push is needed to connect local people and visitors from around the world to the environment.

Patagonia says it will match all donations towards the completion of the trail system – at a cost of  $1,600 per mile – until the end of the year.

To raise awareness, the US brand has commissioned a film, Mile For Mile, to celebrate the landscape through the sport of trail running.
