Anyone can help conserve national, state, and local parks and other protected areas by taking action at home! Water, lands, and air are all connected, so the actions people take at home have far-reaching effects. People interested in helping protect water, air, and wildlife can do a variety of things:, such as reducing water waste, planting native flowers, or using dark-sky friendly lighting fixtures.
