Celebrating 107 Years of NPS and 50 Years of Partnership
Founded on August 25, 1916, the National Park Service was created to “preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.” As we celebrate this month, Trust for Public Land is honored to have partnered in that effort in order to connect everyone to the outdoors.
