Protecting America's Legacy: NPCA Strategic Plan 2021-2026

Parks thrive for the next 100 years

By connecting and protecting ecosystems, strengthening park management, and confronting the climate crisis, we will ensure that national parks can thrive for the next 100 years.

National parks tell stories of all Americans

By enhancing park storytelling, creating new parks, and deeply engaging the public, we can ensure that national parks represent, welcome, and share a fuller American story with all visitors.

National parks are for everyone

Building communities in parks, neighborhoods and across the country to ensure that everyone is welcome, enriched by and empowered to protect national parks.
