The Introduction:

National parks can be a controversial topic, so make sure that you keep your post and your replies respectful!

National Parks can be defined as an entity that: “preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world” (NPS, 2018).

We all have probably enjoyed a National Park, and if you would like more information, take time to look around: https://www.nationalparks.org/

The Objective:

To understand our impact in National Parks, and what we should be doing to preserve them.

For This Forum:

• Find a Park: https://www.nps.gov/findapark/index.htm
• Choose the state in which you reside. There are a lot of parks, so make sure you choose one that is different than your classmates, and use it in the title of your post.
• Discuss:

• How large is the park?
  • What types of wildlife are found there?
  • What kind of recreation is present?
• Have you ever visited in person?
• What are the ecological advantages to the park?
• What are the economic advantages to the park?
