The National Park Service celebrates 100th anniversary

The National Park Service is inviting people to take part in the celebration of its 100th anniversary on Thursday.

Since 1916, the federal agency has been entrusted with the conservation of the United States’ national parks, national monuments and other protected areas. More than 275 million people visit these breathtaking preserved places every year.

“One hundred years ago today, Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, which essentially established the National Park Service, and he did that explicitly to preserve and protect the natural resources of the country to make sure that future generations would be able to enjoy them,” Tom Crosson, a spokesman for the National Park Service, said in a phone interview with Yahoo News.

Quote:
To usher in the centennial, the service is offering free admission to all 412 national parks from Thursday until Sunday and holding special events across the country, including music performances, naturalization ceremonies, festivals and sporting events.


Good weather, free admission, what's the down side? (besides me having to work mandatory O.T. :crybaby: )

The Discover Pass is for state land. This "PIF" is for National Parks.
