| Did you know that you are the owner of millions of acres of prime real estate scattered across the United States? Did you know that your vast holdings include beaches, lakes, rivers, prairies, forests, canyons, mountains, and deserts? Did you know that Yellowstone, Denali, the Grand Canyon, Acadia and other marvels protected by the U. S. National Park system, belong to you? Just what is a national park? For many people the word "park" brings to mind nicely groomed gardens and lawns, complete with swings and slides. But national parks are very different! They are our country's greatest natural and cultural treasures. The fact that they belong to every American citizen is not just a good deal; it's a great one! It wasn't always this way, however. . . |
