The National Park Service turns 100 on August 25, 2016, marking a century of preserving America’s treasures. During the National Parks Centennial, the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) is using this powerful opportunity to challenge Congress, the Administration, and the American public to re-engage with the parks and ensure their protection for the next century.
Amanda John, the NPCA’s Pennsylvania & Delaware Program Manager, will lead a presentation and discussion about the incredible resources that make up the nearly 80 National Parks in the Mid-Atlantic with a focus on the 18 spectacular national parks in Pennsylvania. She will cover a range of opportunities and threats facing our national parks across the country and the efforts of the NPCA and its over 1 million members to protect them.
Established by the first Director of the National Park Service, Stephen Mather in 1919, the National Parks Conservation Association is the independent, nonpartisan voice working to strengthen and protect our national park system for nearly a century. Whether on the ground, in the courtroom, the statehouse or on Capitol Hill, NPCA works tirelessly to protect clean air, clean water, natural viewsheds, and wildlife in and around national parks.
WHEN: April 20th | 6:30 – 8:00 PM
WHERE: Snyder County East Office | 118 Bridge Street, Selinsgrove, PA
