In the 10 days leading up to Founders’ Day, August 25, 2016, we attempted to tell the story of nature and natural resources during the 100 years of the National Park Service. We covered a lot of ground: fires, legislation, oil spills, the Natural Resource Challenge, and repeat photography, to name a few. Take a look at some of the more popular posts during the 10 days, or visit our Twitter page to see them all!
