National Park Week 2009

April 18-26

National Park Week is proclaimed annually by the President as a week for celebration and recognition of National Parks. Your National Parks are living examples of the best this Nation has to offer--our magnificent natural landscapes and our varied yet interrelated heritage. Parks can provide recreational experiences, opportunities to learn and grow and places of quiet refuge. This year, take a moment, an hour, a day to visit the national parks near you.
