Science & Research
National parks serve as
outdoor laboratories for the study of physical, biological,
and cultural systems and their components. |
Social
Science
An accurate understanding of the relationship
between people and parks is critical to both protecting
resources unimpaired and providing for public enjoyment. |
Welcome to Our New Site
Discover the natural wonders in parks and how we use science to conserve them.
The National Park Service is committed to making
our visitor's web experience as pleasurable

will allow you to find what you are looking

added to the site. Your feedback is needed so please
