Our National Parks and Forests can’t protect themselves. It takes a team of skilled and dedicated workers, most of whom are federal employees, to keep these lands unspoiled and accessible for you and me. We inherited this fortune, and it’s our responsibility to ensure that we don’t trash these treasures, and to maybe even improve them a bit as a gift to the next generation of lucky Americans.
