About

Intermountain Natural History Association is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization created to aid the educational and scientific activities of the National Park Service at Dinosaur and Fossil Butte national monuments, the U.S. Forest Service at the Ashley, Uinta-Wasatch-Cache national forests, the Bureau of Reclamation at Flaming Gorge Dam, and the Bureau of Land Management at the Jurassic National Monument south of Price, Utah, and the John Jarvie Historic Property in Browns Park. The profits from all bookstore sales are donated back to these public lands. Since INHA’s inception in 1956, donations have exceeded $3 million.

Donations are given to the agencies to support specific activities or projects. These can include the production and printing of newspapers, construction of information kiosks, or the financing of roadside displays, trail guides, and handouts. INHA donations help to purchase items as large as the cast skeleton of Allosaurus at Dinosaur, and as small as a roll of film for documenting projects.

Our organization was founded in 1956 as the Dinosaur Nature Association. In 1999, we expanded beyond our relationship with the National Park Service to begin serving the USDA Forest Service and the BLM. To better reflect these relationships, in 2002 we officially became Intermountain Natural History Association.

This site includes the online store for our public lands partners in the region between the Rockies to the east and the Wasatch to the west, the Wind River range to the north, and the San Rafael Swell to the south. Intermountain NHA sells educational products that teach about our natural heritage. All purchases provide funding that supports the scientific, educational, and interpretive missions of the National Park Service, the USDA Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation who manage our public lands and serve the citizens who visit and care for them.
