The National Park Service preserves, protects, and shares our nation's special places and stories.

About us

Most people know that the National Park Service cares for national parks, a network of over 420 natural, cultural and recreational sites across the nation. The treasures in this system – the first of its kind in the world – have been set aside by the American people to preserve, protect, and share the legacies of this land. People from all around the world visit national parks to experience America's story, marvel at the natural wonders, and have fun. Places like the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, and Gettysburg are popular destinations, but so too are the hundreds of lesser known yet equally meaningful gems like Rosie the Riveter in California, Boston Harbor Islands in Massachusetts, and Russell Cave in Alabama. The American system of national parks was the first of its kind in the world, and provides a living model for other nations wishing to establish and manage their own protected areas. The park service actively consults with these Nations, sharing what we've learned, and gaining knowledge from the experience of others. Beyond national parks, the National Park Service helps communities across America preserve and enhance important local heritage and close-to-home recreational opportunities. Grants and assistance are offered to register, record and save historic places; create community parks and local recreation facilities; conserve rivers and streams, and develop trails and greenways.

    Do you like to eat? Do you like to sleep? Looking to bulk up before winter? Then follow the "Rumble and Roar Katmai Bear Diet and Exercise Program."* The most successful bears in the program can catch and eat more than 30 salmon (over 120 pounds) per day! And don’t forget the naps! But don’t take our word for it. <growling sounds> Second thought: no bears were available for comment. Fattening up as winter approaches is essential for the bears at Katmai National Park & Preserve; relying on stored fat for energy, they can lose up to a third of their body fat during the winter. The more bulk they put on in the summer and fall, the more likely they are to survive the long, cold winter. During #FatBearWeek, learn more about the lives of bears while also gaining a greater understanding of Katmai’s ecosystem through a series of live events hosted on explore.org. Vote daily for the bear you think mastered the "rumble and roar diet" the best from 8 am - 5 pm AKDT at fatbearweek.org! ⁣⁣ *If you’re not an Alaskan brown bear prepping for winter, this may not be the ideal diet for you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Image: Screenshot of text, “Do you like to eat? Do you like to sleep? Do you need to gain weight by the end of summer? Then follow the Katmai bear diet and exercise plan. Step 1: Gorge on raw salmon for one hour. Step 2: Sleep on a beach for two to three hours. Step 3: Repeat.
