「國家公園局」 (National
Park Service) 於1916年4月5日成立了
國家公園系統現在已經包括370個地區,總面積超過8千3百萬英畝,分佈在49個州、華盛頓特區、薩摩雅群島 (Samoa) 、關島 (Guam) 、波多黎各 (PurtoRico) 、塞班島 (Saipan) ,以及維京群島 (Virgin Islands) 等地區。可能有一個國家公園就在你家附近。每年都有數百萬的旅客到國家公園參觀。推動成立國家公園系統的團體主張「公園是國家的寶藏與資產,以及國家的恢復地。」你覺得他們說得對嗎?問問你的家人,看他們知道幾個國家公園。
The National Park System is now made up of 370 areas, totaling more than 83 million acres, in 49 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. There's probably a national park near you. Millions of people visit these national treasures each year. The group that brought about the park system argued that "the parks are the nation's pleasure grounds and the nation's restoring places." What do you think? Ask your family how many national parks they can name.
