Will one of the activities be finding a national park that still has employees, or perhaps one that hasn't been turned over to logging and oil companies?

Nice animated stickers. Would have been nice if there was a way to complete the challenge and collect the award for users outside US.

How exactly do the National Parks benefit from an Apple Watch wearer walking 20 minutes around a city park, a forest trail, or a bike ride? I wished Apple would require both for awarding the Aug 24th sticker: an activity AND a donation to the National Parks system.
