In 2012, leaders from conservation, philanthropy, recreation, tourism, education, health, and economic development gathered in Washington, DC, for America’s Summit on National Parks: Taking Action for a New Century.
One of the results of that summit is a new statement of joint principles about the National Parks. The National Parks Conservation Association, the National Park Foundation, and the National Park Hospitality Association partnered with dozens of organizations to developNational Parks for a New Century: Statement of Joint Principles. The American Camp Associaiton is pleased to sign on its support.
The 2016 Centennial of the National Park Service is fast approaching and provides the national parks community with an opportunity to draw attention to the needs and opportunities of the park system and inspire the American public to become engaged on behalf of our nearly 400 national park units and park programs ranging from Yosemite National Park to the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program.
