National Parks

National Parks are our nation’s natural monuments that stretch the profound experience of observing the aesthetic beauty of our country into the real experience of being connected to our homeland in an inspiring and organic setting. The National Parks Service is dedicated to keeping these precious pieces of land protected and nurtured so that these magnificent blankets of pictorial landscapes can remain open and accessible to anyone who wishes to take the amazing journey through any one of their innumerable entrances throughout the country. The National Parks Services believes that all of our nation’s precious parks require an educational and evolutionary understanding of all the life that exists in each of the National Parks and its mission is to keep these monuments unharmed for future generations. Since its creation in 1915, The National Parks Service continues the legacy of George Melendez Wright who was the first pioneer to crystallize the importance of our country’s National Parks through research and personal documentation. The service continues today through the valued commitment of scientists, teachers, volunteers and natural resource managers throughout the country. The national park service community is committed to the preservation of our national parks and to keep them free of pollution and urban development by producing outsource investment funding to keep the parks vitalized for the some 275 million visitors that come to the National Parks each year.
