National Parks Conservation Association’s Post

If you've been to San Francisco, it's pretty likely you've paid a visit to Alcatraz Island, part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Whether you're visiting to learn about history, go to work as a concessionaire, or get a different view of the city, everyone accesses the island via the wharf. It's the only way onto the island and in the event of an emergency, it's also the only way off. Alcatraz Island is situated in the middle of a cold bay with strong currents and harsh weather conditions off an earthquake-prone city — not ideal conditions for a critical structure like the wharf. A $36 million investment from the #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct will rehabilitate the wharf for the first time since it was acquired by the Park Service and vastly improve public safety. Hundreds of projects are underway to improve national parks for the staff who care for them and the visitors who enjoy them. One thing is clear: our parks need more help. Join NPCA in urging Congress to keep investing in our national parks and extend GAOA by at least five more years! https://lnkd.in/ej6auypb #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct #ParkFunding #ProtectOurParks #ParkAdvocate #SanFransisco #Alcatraz #California

I had a very interesting conversation with one of the UK's leading bodies in restoration and heritage and how a sustainable transport system can working together with their carbon reduction and green agendas. I will be asking them to be part of the "Get on Board" team. Their frustrations where not about the transport industry, rather than the way other organisations value the role something plays in the community. This value can be through bringing people into a given area and enabling growth as well as reducing the expenditure on accidents and repairs on our road network as well as decreasing the carbon output. I would like to understand from other such organisations how a improved or reopened railway can benefit the area, your business, the communities it serves, as well as less obvious awards of less traffic on our roads, which creates potentially less expenditure. The role of an "influencer" comes in various shapes and organisations and bringing your on board will widen the message on the benefits of railway when it comes to improving lives. If you are are organization that will benefit from the railway reopening in your community then I would like to hear from you, and i have listed some of the towns and communities that are on the list for reopening: 1. Tavistock - Devon and Dartmoor 2. Cullompton - Devon East & West 3. Wellington - Somerset 4. Ivanhoe Line - Leicester to Burton on Trent via Coalville and National Forest 5. Barrow Hill Line - Chesterfield to Sheffield via Barrow Hill and Wavertree 6. Don Valley - Sheffield to Stocksbridge 7. Ferryhill new station between Middlesborough and Durham 8. Haxby new station between York and Malton 9. Meir new station between Stoke on Trent and Uttoxeter 10. Stoke on Trent to Leek reopening 11. Gobowen to Oswestry All these stations and lines run near or close to large national parks, historic houses and monuments, open countryside and major tourist attractions, to name a few Dartmoor National Park, Killerton House, Wellington Monument, Alton Towers, Potteries, Canals, National Forest and so on. I would like to hear from you and welcome you to join the voice and strengthen the message about re-connecting communities really means.

For a few more years, the Great American Outdoors Act will address critical repair projects and improve visitor experiences in our national parks. However, the current funding won’t be able to repair every broken bathroom, crumbling trail or outdated visitor center. The backlog of repair needs at our national parks has reached more than $22 billion, and routine maintenance and repairs currently outpace annual investments by Congress. Parks are more popular than ever before, but infrastructure needs continue to impact visitor access and safety and park resources. NPCA and our members and supporters are urging Congress to extend the Legacy Restoration Fun at current levels for an additional five years. This will ensure our parks can continue to welcome visitors and protect the natural and cultural resources that tell our nation’s history. We're here to keeping making more park success stories. #GAOA #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct #NationalParks #ParkFunding #FundOurParks #ProtectOurParks

Unveiling Long Beach's Rich Tapestry: A Journey Through History Dive into the captivating narrative of Long Beach, a city with a legacy dating back centuries. From its origins as the "Bay of the Smokes" witnessed by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo to the bustling metropolis it is today, Long Beach boasts a vibrant history filled with tales of resilience and growth. Did you know that Long Beach was once divided into Rancho Los Cerritos and Rancho Los Alamitos, gifted to Spanish soldiers in the late 1700s? Or that developer William Wilmore laid the foundation for the city's expansion in the 1880s? The discovery of oil in 1921 fueled unprecedented prosperity, transforming Long Beach into a bustling hub of commerce and leisure. However, the city faced a tumultuous setback with the devastating earthquake of 1933, a tragedy that sparked crucial reforms in earthquake-resistant construction. Today, Long Beach stands as a testament to its storied past, with numerous historic districts and landmarks offering glimpses into bygone eras.
