Kanpur is a historical city and is believed to have been founded by members of the Chandela dynasty and formed part of the state of Sachendi. The city's name is believed to derive from Kanhiyapur (from the Hindi meaning "town of Kanhaiya"). During the British era the name got transformed to Cawnpore, and hence the city got its current name KANPUR. As an important city in the Chandela dynasty, the city has a number of places of historical importance. The historical ruins of the places help prove the city's existence to the era of pre-13th Century. Nana Rao Park is the perfect place for nature lovers, longing to spend their time close to nature, away from the hum drum and pollution of the city. The park is named after Nana Rao Peshwa, the legendary figure who actively participated in the first War of independence or Sepoy mutiny in 1857.
The history of Nana Rao Park dates back to India’s first war of the independence, fought in 1857. This park was named after Nana Rao Peshwa who fought like a brave warrior in India’s struggle for independence.During the Siege of Cawnpore, Nana Sahib had negotiated surrender from the 300 British soldiers and their families in exchange for their safe passage to Allahabad. On the morning of June 27, a large British column led by General Wheeler made their way to the banks of the river Ganga where Nana Sahib had arranged 40 boats for their journey. Since it was the summer time, the Ganga was dry, sluggish and plagued by mud-banks which made

Looming over Marin County and San Francisco, iconic Mount Tamalpais rises over 2500 feet almost directly above the bay. Most of this mountain is a state park, and there are many miles of hiking and biking trails. Remember that mountain biking got its start here, and most of the old fire roads are open to both hikers and bikers. The good news is that, unlike many other biking areas, these bikers seem to be considerate of hikers.

Devils Postpile National Monument is in Madera County, Mammoth Lakes, California on Western side of the Sierra Nevada. In 1911 Devils Postpile National Monument was preserved and protected by the National Parks Services because of the two main geologic features present there that draw attention to this area. The Formation of the Columnar Basalt (Devils Postpile), which named the monument and the other feature being Rainbow Falls. Although Devils Postpile National Monument is relatively small, the 798 acres entices nearly thousands of visitors every year (Arnett et al. 367-368). This land is home to naturally occurring beauty, great hiking trails, diverse habitats, numerous geologic features and much more which is why Devils Postpile should be upgraded to National Park Status.
Camping in Skagit County is easy when over 40 per cent of the land has been designated State and National forests and parks.

In order to counter-act the pervasive actions the British were enacting onto the Indians, Gandhi began one of history’s most influential movements. Termed the "Salt Satyagraha", this prodigious struggle for independence had fundamentally changed the England's influence over India forever; a march which, although having minuscule beginnings, swelled to over 100, 000 humans whom all desired one thing- freedom from British oppression (MapsofIndia, 2015) Culturally, this campaign was of utmost importance as it was within the realm
“So, what was it like winning yesterday?” I ask, even though I am sure he has heard it a thousand times before.
This year the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary. Their mandate is to "conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein” in an unimpaired condition so that they might be enjoyed by present and future generations." I interviewed Park Service employee Daniel Craighead, an Occupational Safety and Health Specialist, to discuss how occupational safety and training supports the Park Services mandate.
identify at least two non-native (exotic/introduced) species found in each park and discuss the ecological problems associated with their introduction.
Dadabha Naoroji was involved in many things but one of the most important was that he was a founder of the Indian National Congress. The Indian National Congress was a political organization that led efforts for independence and is a major political platform in India. During Naoroji’s involvement in politics, he became the first Indian member of the House of Commons. While in office, Naoroji attempted to improve Britain’s policies toward India and eventually succeeded. He wanted many things for the British rule such as the abolition of practicing widow-burning, to emphasize the importance of education, and he also wanted the development of railways and irrigation. Naoroji goes on to say that he succeeded in almost all of these things and that the British accepted them, making the impact of imperialism positive. In this situation, the colonizer and the colonized both
Today is the first day I’m writing in my Journal. But today is definitely not my first day working here in The Congaree National park. I have worked here for many years. Although I love the smiles of the children and the curious looks of the excited people, there are some downs. But before I complain to you about the beautiful and amazing park I will show you how my day goes. As I put on my clothing I forget something….Something I forget every time. My name tag! I pick up my brown name tag and brush my fingers of my name, Louisa,. I put on my hat and right before I walk out the door, I say a little prayer “Lord, please don’t let me get eaten by an alligator, Amen”. Then I open my door and a fresh blow of crisp South Carolinian air brushes my face. As my face gets stroked by the wind I smile, until I hear a yell from my boss. I ran over to him and he says in a happy voice “You are going to take this lovely family on a tour”. All I could do at the moment was smile and say “Come this way”. My boss taps my shoulder and whispers “You can do this, you know everything about this park,it's your home”. We walk and walk till we finally get to the start of the hiking spot, I go over the boring rules and tell them to stay close. I took a deep breath and continued on with the facts. I announce this “Here at Congaree
That incident is what many believed sparked Gandhi’s desire for change. This event immediately led to the formation of the Natal Indian Congress in 1894, which was an organization aimed to fight racial discrimination against Indians in South Africa. The next major event that Mahatma Gandhi initiated was the fight for Indian Liberation against British-ruled India thru boycotts, passive revolts, and nonviolent resistance. But the most significant act of nonviolent protest Gandhi led was the Salt March, which was an act of civil disobedience against the British salt tax, in which it was illegal for Indians to make or sell salt. This movement gained a lot of media attention all over the world, and eventually the salt tax was
1919 at Amritsar when the British military massacred more than one thousand people Gandhi called his people to stay calm they obeyed him, he called for everyone to burn foreign-made cloth and start wearing nothing but homespun material millions of people in Indian obeyed him he decides that a march to the sea to protest the salt act would be their rallying point for civil disobedience against the British they obeyed him and follow him to two hundred miles to the city of Dandi, where they were arrested by representatives of British government.
American history had been born of discovery and industrialization, however early founders believed that certain spaces that garnered appreciation and interest were deemed worthy of government intervention and policy thus incorporating National Parks into American society. There were many people of utmost significance that contributed to the founding of national parks but the person with the most influence was John Muir. The work and ideas created by Muir and several other founders led to what we today consider to be the establishment of both recognized and sanctioned national parks. To completely understand how momentous the movement for the establishment of the National Parks was, one must recognize who participated in the achievement of these environments, how these parks are inaugurated, and the prominence they continue to hold today.
Unfortunately, after the trip to Dandi, Gandhi was arrested as a consequence for the execution of Salt March along with the other protesters who were involved in “buying, selling, or making salt” (Gold 86). However, while being held captive, a poet and a close associate of Gandhi, Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, took an advantage of the new attention that the Satyagrahis and Gandhi had aroused by leading another protest on the Dharsana Salt Works, which caused intense physical harm to the protestors. Anne Todd asserts that as a leader of this particular protest, Naidu inspired and reminded the Satyagrahis that even though “Gandhi’s body is in jail…his soul is with you. India’s prestige is in your hands. You must not use any violence under any circumstances. You will be beaten but you must not resist; you must not even raise a hand to ward off blows” (66). As the demonstrators approached the site, they encountered the British police officers who were trying to block them and were brutally bashing these Indians with “five-foot-long steel-tipped clubs” (Todd 66). Despite the British’ effort, these satyagrahis relentlessly marched forward. Ved Mehta points out a correspondent for United Press, Webb Miller, who reports on the incident at the Dharsana Salt Works:
