Bella Thorne Kicks Off 'Find Your Park' Movement in Manhattan

Bella Thorne kicks off the Find Your Park movement held at Madison Square Park in New York City on Thursday afternoon (April 2).

The 17-year-old actress joined National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell for the event which is the the first stop on a national tour, offering a multi-sensory experience in honor of the National Park Service and the incredible places they preserve and protect.

Find Your Park is a new movement which invites the public to see that a national park is more than just a place — it can be a feeling, a state of mind, or a sense of American pride.

“I found my park practically in my backyard � at Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area with my sister,” Bella shared in a statement. “I hope that through Find Your Park, people my age will rediscover the national parks and be inspired to volunteer and truly understand the importance of preservation.”

FYI: Bella is wearing Nike pants and shoes.
