EXPLORE OUR PUBLIC LANDS

This land is your land, and this land is my landFrom California to the New York IslandFrom the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream WatersThis land was made for you and me

National Parks are permanently protected lands set aside for our enjoyment. Inspiring and unique, these amazing treasures preserve critical wildlife habitat and showcase the natural beauty of our country. We bequeath this gift to future generations.

The 63 National Parks of the United States of America

“In the hierarchy of public lands, national parks by law have been above the rest: America’s most special places, where natural beauty and all its attendant pleasures – quiet waters, the scents of fir and balsam, the hoot of an owl, and the dark of a night sky unsullied by city lights – are sacrosanct.”

There are an estimated 16 million bricks in this formidable fortress. A photo hardly does justice.
