During this week, people from all over the nation will be visiting and exploring these natural wonders. Where do you plan to take your WANDRD bag to celebrate?
The first National Park, Yellowstone, was established in 1872, and since then, the National Park Service (NPS) has expanded to include 63 parks, as well as over 400 other sites that include monuments, historic sites, and recreational areas. These parks are home to an array of breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife, from towering mountains and deep canyons to vast deserts and pristine forests.
Apart from being a source of entertainment and recreation, national parks also play a crucial role in preserving and protecting America's natural and cultural heritage. These parks are essential in maintaining biodiversity, safeguarding threatened and endangered species, and preserving historical and cultural sites. They also provide clean water and air, as well as offer a place for scientific research and study.
