“our national parks are economic generators, each year attracting millions of visitors, many from overseas, and provide great benefit to our national and local economies. We must protect and strengthen our investment in this valuable resource. To do otherwise would be pennywise and pound-foolish.”

people into the outdoors and encouraging active lifestyles, wellrun, diverse, and adequately funded national parks are essential investments in the $730 billion active outdoor economy and in jobs.”

fully restored and ready to serve the public for the next 100 years.
