The National Park Service (NPS) plays a gargantuan role in the preservation of many national parks, monuments, and historical sites. But most recently the government proposed significant budget cuts to the NPS, which will reduce financial support for preserving national parks, monuments, historical sites, and the programs that teach kids about nature and history. Keeping these national parks and monuments busy and wellfunded is imperative because without those Americans will be losing an important historical insight of the initiation that the country was built on. Although, some may debate that the government should not fund the NPS because it takes control away from the locals, it is important that NPS is funded because it will ensure the
One of the most important aspects of American culture is the long history of conservation that very few countries have, thanks to the National Park Service, which is a Federal institution. The United States possesses some of the bestpreserved landmarks in the world. However, in recent years, the government has proposed budget cuts to the NPS, which will severely limit its ability to properly maintain the parks. Because of the economic and historical
This park isn’t just for the animals either, It's a good way to bring the community together and to enjoy nature (and not look at your phone all day). I have well over 100 hours of volunteer work at the park, helping with charity events, the construction of structures, and caring for some of the animals. I live in a town that has various problems (like every town), and if you live here, you know what I mean. I would like New Richmond to be known more for positive things like the new aviary & wildlife center than for its drug problem. So I go and work down there almost everyday.
Have you heard that Nevada is considering whether to charge a $2 fee for each person to enter and use parks and community playgrounds? The money that is gained would be used to maintain and improve buildings, fields, courts, and playground equipment. Some people find this as a great idea but I find this wrong and shouldn't even be considered at all. Whether it's to maintain and and improve our state it does not matter and here are some reasons, facts, and evidence why we should rebel against this act.
National parks protect and preserve nature’s natural beauty. The vast, open land provides a safe place that allows native plants and animals to thrive in their natural environment. National parks not only protect plants, animals, and the natural beauty, but they also protect a place that might be important to people. Someone's ancestors might have walked through these very redwood forests. Thankfully, the forests are now protected and they would get a chance to experience how it felt like to walk through the amazing, tall, beautiful Redwood trees. Thanks to the amount of vegetation in national parks, they also help us clean the air because of the large amounts of carbon dioxide the vegetation releases, and oxygen it soaks in. So, national parks also help the environment, not just protect it, that's pretty cool. I guess it's their way of saying thank you to us for protecting them for the rest of their lives. National parks aren't all about nature though, they're also great places to visit, relax, and have fun with your family and friends. All national parks provide an abundance of exciting activities you can enjoy with your family, not just Redwood National Park. The final reason why national parks are so important is, they allow people to get educated on the world around but, in a fun and entertaining
Yellowstone National Park is one of the largest and oldest national parks in American history. Yellowstone was the first park to be protected by private investment on March 1, 1872, and the first to be put under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service in 1918, no doubt due to its unique and inspiring landscape and geothermal features. In fact, Yellowstone National Park is home to half of the world’s total hydrothermal features. These awesome attractions draw an incredible amount of visitors, an average of two to three million each year, to Yellowstone’s immense landscape. The park has a total size of 28,125 square miles, is found in three distinct states, and is considered to be one of the largest
Yellowstone National Park, untamed wild beauty. Stunning landscapes, beautiful waterfalls and rivers, breathtaking wildlife, and geothermal activity all come together to make Yellowstone an amazing place. People come from all over the world to witness the beauty of Yellowstone. It is a regulated national park for a reason, it is so amazing, so beautiful, so spectacular to not preserve it. It hosts bison, elk, deer, bald eagles, bears, moose, beavers, and amazing trout rivers, everything a perfect mountain ecosystem should hold. However now there is something else, something that is natural, was removed but has now returned, flourishing and benefiting its surroundings. Wolves, have been reintroduced into Yellowstone and have greatly benefited the area. These wolves have started a positive and beneficial renewal in the park. The reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park is beneficial because they created and natural and beneficial trophic cascade, other animals in the park benefited from the wolves, and because the land was able to regrow and flourish due to the wolves’ presence.
Yellowstone is the worlds first national park. It was origanally home to Native Americans who lived in the Yellowstone area for at least 11,000 years.The U.S. Army was first commissioned to oversee the park just after its establishment in late 1960. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service. Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2), mostly comprising lakes, rivers canyons and mountain ranges. The national park is located primarily in the state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congressand signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872.
This may seem controversial as some people may not be able to understand how public parks benefit anyone. Public parks may seem purely aesthetic and ornamental, adding no true value to society, therefore some would argue that the government has no justification for taking their property.
My 1st contention is national parks can actually negatively affect the environment, they draw thousands or even hundreds of thousands of visitors who all impact the environment, whether through pollution from cars or the impact of camping. The roads that are built for cars in the parks have a severe impact on the environment and the animals that are l m, iving there. according to ournationalparks.us “High levels of park attendance affiliated with vehicular traffic have caused the Yosemite National Park administration to wonder how it can still allow visitors to enjoy the exuberance of the park, but, at the same time, preserve the habitat of the more popular
Like most Americans, I expect to find in every city, every town, even in every village in the country, an outdoor recreation area or what is usually called a park; and I am seldom disappointed. No matter how new and unfinished a town may be, or however old and poor, I know that it will contain, wedged in among the crowded blocks of buildings, a rectangular space with grass and trees and meandering paths and perhaps a bandstand or a flagpole.
Although there are many management plans put in, most of the public doesn’t know or understand why and how these plans are put in to actions. Somethings are small, like littering but it could become a big impact to the park if more than one person in the society does it. I think that there should be events and programs informing the people in the society about the protection of the park, so everyone will be contributing regardless of age and
National parks are a government institution meant to preserve the natural wonders of America’s landscapes. Established as the first national park in the U.S. by Congress in 1872, Yellowstone National Park was intended as “a public park or pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.” The Secretary of the Interior, along with other governmental departments like the War Department and the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture later worked to authorize additional national parks and monuments throughout much of the West. President Woodrow Wilson created the National Park Service in 1916, which was responsible for protecting and managing the national parks already created, as well as those yet to be established. Once
They see some parks starting an extra charge and they see innovative projects. Not being able to look inside the downsizing budget cut the nation feels, parks are doing increasingly with less and less. Ideally the legislature will get a chance , comprehend and utilize a portion of the additional cash that is left over and use it to upsize the recreation exercises. “The secret to the city is integration. Every area of the city should combine work, leisure and culture. Separate these functions and parts of the city die.”-James Lener
