National Parks System

The National Parks System is a network of protected areas in the United States designated for conservation, recreation, and education. Managed by the National Park Service, these parks preserve natural landscapes, wildlife, and cultural heritage for public enjoyment and future generations. They offer opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and sightseeing while ensuring the preservation of ecosystems and historical sites. The system aims to balance environmental protection with accessible recreation, fostering appreciation and stewardship of the country’s natural and cultural treasures.
