The National Park Service is a very important part of the United States history and future. When President Theodore Roosevelt established the first National Parks in the late 19th century, he understood the need to preserve the nation before it was destroyed. Then, in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson established the National Park Service as a federal bureau of the Department of the Interior in order to protect and manage National Parks. Today, hundreds of Parks, Preserves, Historic Sites, and other areas have been set aside on over 80 million acres of land as protected by the government.

NPCA has been the leading voice of the American people in protecting and enhancing the park system’s superlative examples of America’s natural, cultural, and historic heritage. NPCA and its more than 330,000 members and supporters are committed to preserving the most diverse park system in the world for us now and for those who will come after."
