Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks are the most recent. But my childhood had Credit Island State Park (Iowa) and The Cascades in the Spark Park in Michigan. Smaller parks provided playgrounds in the summer when camp was not affordable. Now, in New Jersey, we are campaigning to keep what we have…not open to allow further development. I’d like to let these lands continue.
Sincerely,
Glacier National Park

“They should be saved for future generations to study and enjoy. Even if they are used only for relaxing away from urban areas.”
