National Park Week, celebrated annually in April, is a time to commemorate the incredible natural and cultural heritage preserved within our national parks. First established in 1983, this special week encourages people to explore and appreciate the diverse landscapes, ecosystems, and historical sites found in these protected areas.
National Park Week 2025 holds particular significance as it marks the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, the federal agency responsible for managing and preserving our national parks. This milestone provides an opportunity to reflect on the rich history of these parks and to celebrate their enduring legacy.
