Conclusion

As you can see, planning for our national parks is an important and complex responsibility that takes lots of careful planning. Park managers must obey laws that are in place. It is also critical that the perspectives from a broad range of people are contemplated in order to make good decisions for now and the future of our precious national treasures. Our national parks need input from citizens like you who are concerned and knowledgeable about the issues that are involved.
