The National Park Service
On April 5 and 6, 1916, Congress listened to argu
ments in favor of the establishment of the National
Park Service “The parks are the Nation’s pleasure
grounds and the Nation's restoring places . ” said J
Horace McFarland, president of
American Civic Association Con
servationists and civic leaders
were peisuasive, it seems, tor <
Congress voted in the affirmative
Since then, the National Park
Service has grown fiOm overseemj
40 national parks and monument
to 170 distinct areas Today, thi
National Parks system includes mop
than 81 million acres in 49 states
Oh, Wilderness were paradise enow!
Tip of the We e k
Give daffodils their own vase—daffodil stems excrete a
substance that other flowers dislike.
