About Us

The National Park Service and Parks Canada care for special places set aside by the people of the United States and Canada so that all may experience our heritage.

Since 1999, the National Park Society has supported this mission by providing maps, guide books and educational tours to national park visitors.

We are a private organization staffed by current and former park rangers and wildlife conservation professionals.

Our expertise is valued by persons who are planning national park vacations and who wish to join one of our unique domestic or international trips guided by experienced rangers.

Our Heritage

In America's national parks, the magnificent beauty of our country and important examples of our Nation's cultural heritage are preserved and made available to Americans and visitors from all over the world.

We commit to conserve our natural and historical treasures and encourage more Americans to enjoy, learn from, and protect these important parts of our heritage.

Our Nation has a long legacy of conservation. In 1872, Yellowstone National Park became our country's first national park, and more than four decades later, the National Park Service was created.

Today, the national park system includes almost 400 sites, with parks in nearly every state.

From Yosemite National Park in California to Acadia National Park in Maine, and from Independence Hall to the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Historic Site, America's national parks are home to some of our Nation's most beautiful landscapes and richest history.

The role of the National Park Society is to help you discover your national parks.
