About the author

The National Park Service is the federal agency responsible for managing the National Park System in the United States. According to the agency’s own overview, it has been caring for national parks since 1916 and works with volunteers, tribes, local governments, nonprofits, and other partners to protect special places and help people experience them.

Its mission reaches beyond famous national parks. The service also manages many national monuments and historic sites, and it supports preservation programs that help conserve natural and cultural heritage across the country. That broad mix of stewardship, education, and public access has made the agency a major part of how Americans connect with landscapes, wildlife, and history.

Today, the National Park Service stands as one of the best-known public guardians of the nation’s shared treasures. From iconic scenic areas to important historical landmarks, its work is centered on keeping these places protected and meaningful for current and future generations.
