Twilight Star's New Parks & Recreation Gig

Get the scoop on movie vampire's new campy canyon campaign

Amy Poehler beware.

A certain Twilight star is getting his parks & recreation on.

He proved that while hanging out in the Grand Canyon this week. What was he doing there? Read on to find out…

Peter Facinelli was there with his daughter Luca Bella to help launch the National Park Foundation's initiative to promote eco-friendly camping. With the help of Energizer, the Nurse Jackie star joined a group of campers to learn more about using solar energy while enjoying the great outdoors.

"I love camping with my family and helping bring awareness to preserving our national parks and camping more responsibly," Facinelli tells us.

And he doesn't mind doing the dirty work. He spent part of the day helping clean up the park with members of the Arizona Camping Club.

Facinelli said, "It's never too early to teach your kids that doing small acts can have big impacts in a positive way."
