Essential Question: Why is it important to protect nature and visit National Parks?
The National Park Foundation began in 1872 with the preservation of Yellowstone. The purpose of a National Park is to keep unique and fragile areas and wildlife habitats safe, to educate visitors, and to provide healthy recreation. Today, there are 63 national parks and hundreds of national monuments. There are 9 national parks just within California! Each provide a wonderful way to learn about and enjoy what nature has to offer.
