In 1916, the United States Congress created the National Park Service entrusting it "to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."

Today, the Park Service oversees almost 400 parks, monuments, historic sites, battlefields, lakeshores, seashores, recreation areas, preserves, scenic rivers, and trails all of which are enjoyed by nearly 300,000,000 visitors a year.
