Support our National Parks
On Presidents' Day and throughout the year, our national parks provide access to beautiful landscapes, diverse wildlife, historic monuments and breathtaking natural phenomena
The U.S. National Park Service celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2016. Since its inception, the federal service has gained nearly 400 NPS units around the country, filled with beautiful landscapes, diverse wildlife, historic monuments and breathtaking natural phenomena. Not only does it serve to preserve and protect natural and historic sites, it makes sites available to the public for educational and recreational purposes.
