National Park Week is an annual Presidentially proclaimed week for celebration and recognition of your National Parks. National Park Week usually coincides with Earth Day (April 22). For 2011, National Park Week was celebrated from Saturday, April 16 through Sunday, April 24.
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.
Check out our National Park Week & National Volunteer Week 2011 page for a listing of events that were held at Point Reyes National Seashore during or in conjunction with Earth Day, National Park Week and National Volunteer Week.
