National Park System

The National Park System is a network of protected areas across the United States designated to preserve natural landscapes, wildlife, and cultural heritage. Managed by the National Park Service and other agencies, these parks provide opportunities for recreation, education, and conservation. They include diverse environments like mountains, forests, deserts, and historical sites. The system aims to safeguard these areas for current enjoyment and future generations while promoting awareness of their ecological and cultural significance. Visiting national parks encourages appreciation of nature’s beauty and the importance of protecting natural and historical resources.
