Save Our National Parks

The United States boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. From the rocky coats of Maine’s Acadia National Park, to the deep chasms of the Grand Canyon, to the towering sequoias of Yosemite it is easy to see why our national parks were called America’s best idea. Our national parks and public lands define the best and most stirring aspects of the American landscape and the American character, providing millions of us unparalleled opportunities to connect with the great outdoors. 

While our national parks themselves are protected, drilling, mining and logging on public lands and development on privately-held parcels of land within and adjacent to our national parks and wilderness areas threaten many of our most treasured places. Additionally, all of our parks face threats from chronic under-funding with many lacking the operating funds to ensure they'll be able to adequately protect the natural treasures found in the park and ensure their trails and facilities remain available for the millions of visitors they have each year.  

We can ensure the beauty of these parks are protected for future generations by ensuring Congress fully funds the Land and Water Conservation Fund and by enacting specific protections for ecologically sensitive areas adjacent to our national parks.
