About Me |
|
Since 1919, we have been the leading voice of America’s national parks. Our mission is to protect and enhanceAmerica’s National Park System for present and future generations. We believe that America's national parks and historicsites embody the American spirit. They are windows to our past, homes to some of our rarest plants and animal species, andplaces where every American can go to find inspiration, peace, and open space.
We are motivated by our commitment to our mission. Our dynamic teams have the right people in the right jobs whocreatively pursue ways to protect and enhance the National Park System. We believe in being accountable to each other and thepublic in the excellence of our work. We recognize that we are most effective when we celebrate and encourage participationfrom a diversity of cultural backgrounds, community traditions, and political perspectives.
